The MMA career of Sage Northcutt

After the successful debut at UFC 192 with a rapid 57 seconds KO victory many predicted Sage Northcutt could be a future contender. Later that year in December Northcutt got another finish with a guillotine submission over Cody Pfister taking his record to 7-0. Unfortunately the following year turned out to be tumultuous for the youngster. Suffering submission defeats to both Bryan Barbarena and Mickey Gall saw his stock take a hit.

Following the Gall defeat Northcutt returned to the cage after 11 months out and earned a decision win against Michel Quiñones which kicked off a three fight win streak. In 2018 he defeated Zac Ottow via TKO moving to an 11-2 record, to many fans surprised he departed the UFC after this fight as his contract expired. Dana White confirmed the company decided against renewing Northcutt’s contract as they felt he could make some tweaks to his game. He joined ONE Championship and only fought twice since 2019 winning his last bout in 2023 with a heel hook.

2 years after that win Sage Northcutt has now joined Rose District as an estate agent and at only 29 years of age many fans wonder could he ever return to MMA.
