It wasn’t the first loss of his career. But in terms of results and injuries, it was by far the most devastating. After moving up to 185 pounds for the first time in his career, Northcutt saw his ONE Championship debut end in just 29 seconds when he was caught by a right hand from Cosmo Alexandre. The knockout left him with multiple facial injuries.
Since that fight in May 2019, the 24-year-old has spent much of his time recovering from surgery and staying in shape as he waits to be medically cleared for full-contact training.
