Sage Northcutt wants to become the youngest champion in UFC history

The fast-rising 19-year old newcomer wants to beat Jon Jones' record and become the youngest fighter to ever hold a UFC belt.

Sage Northcutt is set to take on only his second UFC fight on Thursday night, but the fast-rising newcomer already has some bold goals in mind. In fact, he plans on breaking Jon Jones' record of being the youngest UFC champion ever.

"What I am looking at is a long-term thing," Northcutt told MMAFighting.com at Tuesday's open workouts. "I'm trying to have not only as many fights as I can right now, because you don't know when the end of your career could be, but also to be able to hopefully be the UFC champion one day, and I'd like to be the youngest.
