I seriously didnt know that. I just watch fights not all the drama and backstory. So yeah hoping they can market him as a karate phenom prodigy or something. Makes sense.
Well then this was not an encouraging showing, lol.He quit school
Sage has only trained full time for about a year. Prior to that he was pretty much exclusively under the tutelage of unknown coaches and his dad. Since he moved camps and has gone full time I believe he actually has shown improvement. Is he great, nope, but he's only 21 years old.
Kind of a side topic, but I saw your avatar... Have you ever read the book Signers of the Declaration? I just finished it a few days ago, it's a really fascinating look at the lives of all 57 signers of the Declaration. Some interesting facts:
1. None of the original signers died as a result of violence at the hands of the British army.
2. Most of the signers didn't even sign the declaration on July 4th...only 4 signatures were on it by 11:59 on July 4th. Most signed it in the succeeding months.
3. Most signers were also slave owners ( though many freed their slaves after signing)
4. Depending on how you look at it, there was at least 1 president before George Washington ( if you count president of the continental congress as being president)
Anyway I can give you the author and publisher if you're interested. There's alot of propaganda surrounding the time period that I try to steer clear of. This is the most objective analysis of the signers that I've ever read.
1) I am calm, brah. Cooler than a cucumber.
2) lol never said I didn't want to hear someone's opinion.. actually asked why the TS cared, which is the opposite of that.
3) fight me
I have not read it but I am aware that the founding fathers were flawed human beings. They did manage to write one of the most important documents ever written by humanity though.
An MMA athlete has far more ways to lose than a boxer.
They are in desperate need of new star powerI get protecting a fighter and bringing them up slowly, but Sage Northcutt has had 7 fights in the UFC now, and hasn't gotten any kind of step up in competition whatsoever. Gouti had lost 3 out of his last 4 going into the fight last night, and now he's lost 4 out of his last 5 (great opponent for a main card fight).
If the UFC just wanted to keep him around to fill out undercards that would be one thing. However, he gets paid really well. I don't think his pay for the Gouti fight has been disclosed yet, but his pay for the fight before that against Quinones (who is that???) according to Tapology was $120,000.
Does Northcutt actually generate enough viewers and attention that the UFC finds it a worthwhile investment to pay him that much to fight someone on the verge of getting cut?
you aint getting my kid to fight in your organization unless you let him get his feet wet for awhile.What kind of deal?

were talking a 19 year old karate prize fighting kid with an overzealous protective crime driven father.
Paige is 23 and has lost 3 of her last 4.
Sage is 21 and is 3-1 in his last 4.
If you are the UFC, it might pay to stop throwing your young fighters to the wolves.
That very well could be correct.
