UFC 192: Sage Northcutt Shows He's More Than a Pretty Face with Explosive R1 TKO

UFC 192's Sage Northcutt went from nobody to one of the hottest names in the UFC almost overnight. With his One Direction looks and pro wrestler name, it's easy to see why Dana White got so excited over the 19-year-old.

Northcutt showed there was plenty of steak behind that sizzle on Saturday night, though, when he demolished muay thai veteran Francisco Trevino. In the early goings of the fight, Trevino slipped on the canvas, and Northcutt, to his credit, pounced on him like a leopard.

The rest was academic. Northcutt unleashed a furious volley of strikes on Trevino and showed absolutely no mercy as his foe from Mexico shattered under the pressure.
