LAS VEGAS – At some point it might get a little (beyond) strange, watching Sage Northcutt comport himself like Buddy from Elf. But right now his innocence in a hardened game is a little refreshing. Sometimes you don’t need complexity in your cast. Sometimes you welcome Happy for the sake of Happy.
On Thursday night, after Northcutt overcame his first bit of adversity when Cody Pfister spent a couple a minutes on top of him, the 19-year old Northcutt came into the post-fight presser beaming with bright-eyed wonder. He was asked about his very enthusiastic endorsement of Fight Pass, and, you know, if he wouldn’t mind being the face of Fight Pass for a few fights going forward.
