Sage Northcutt’s tonsils have been removed and he’s ready to get back to work.
The popular UFC lightweight will meet Claudio Puelles at UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, Calif., the promotion announced Wednesday night. Northcutt had his tonsils removed last month, pushing back his desired return date.
Northcutt (8-2) has not fought since a second-round submission loss to Mickey Gall at UFC on FOX 22 back in December. The Texas native has lost two of three and will be looking to get back on track on the Southern California card.
