Urijah Faber: Sage Northcutt’s cheek was ‘splintered’ into ‘30 pieces’ in ONE debut

There’s not a lot you can say when one of your fighters is knocked out in less than 30 seconds.

That’s the situation Urijah Faber and his team had to deal with when they cornered Sage Northcutt this past Friday in his promotional debut at ONE Championship: Enter the Dragon in Kallang, Singapore. The former UFC fighter was stopped in the first-round by kickboxing ace Cosmo Alexandre when Alexandre landed a cracking right hand that left Northcutt flat on the mat.

Faber appeared on The MMA Hour on Monday to talk about what went wrong for the 23-year-old Team Alpha Male prospect.
