Sage Northcutt leaves UFC, signs with ONE Championship

ONE strikes again.

Sage Northcutt is the latest UFC fighter to depart the UFC for Asia’s ONE Championship, the promotion’s CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced Friday on Twitter. Northcutt was a free agent from the UFC and has now signed with ONE, which has been a red-hot destination of late for fighters.

Northcutt will join a pair of former UFC champions — Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez — in ONE Championship. Johnson was brought over in a trade with the UFC in exchange for Ben Askren, while Alvarez signed last month with ONE as a free agent.
