How About Sage Northcutt vs. Abel Trujillo?

jesus, people suggesting trinaldo and iaquinta for sage, hahahahahaa
 
Sage has a long way to go, that much we do know. He's won a few fights at LW, they can't feed him newcomers every single time out anymore but he's not going to get "good" fighters either. There are still quite a few fun fights he can have in the UFC while we see if Team Alpha Male can draw out the potential.

I think Northcutt vs. Trujillo would be a fun fight. Trujillo doesn't offer much other than a big right hand and half decent wrestling but he's a dangerous fight and makes perfect sense for Sage Northcutt next. I like the fight alot. Would give us a good gauge on Sage's growth. What do you guys think?
Id rather he fight Brock Lesnar.
 
abel would hurt sage.

he practiced on his missus to fine tune his striking.
 
I guarantee that Sage Northcutt vs. whoever is the WW champion in KOTC, Legacy FC, or Titan FC ends with Sage getting his shit pushed in, he's not even UFC-worthy although I like the kid's attitude.
 
Sure why not? I think Abel takes it but it could go either way. Hopefully one of them has seriously stepped up their game.

His defensive wrestling is just bad.
Training at TAM, got monster wrestlers there. Gotta think he'll develop some solid Defensive wrestling with Mendes pushing his shit in day in day out.
 
I assume the UFC wants to build Sage up so he won't fight a step up in competition, instead he'll fight Johnny Bumfuck from West Bubblefuck on the main card next.

Or at least improve his scrambles
 
Sage needs a step up, being 5-0 at LW and still fighting the bottom of the barrel shouldn't be a thing. Abel is a decent fight and I don't think it would be as one sided as everyone else thinks it will be, Abel isn't that skilled. Sage just needs to learn to get hit much less.
 
Book it. Although the CM vs Sage fight does intrigue me.
 
A takedown he would probably be successful with. Trujillo has shit TDD and is very susceptible winging those big shots.
Sages takedowns were absolutely pathetic in his last fight though.

It was almost unbelievable how easily Gouti was shrugging off the takedowns of a much stronger looking guy
 
Sage must cut to 145 or 135 to win gold. He can do it. He has a tremendous work ethic. And a high fight IQ.
 
Super Sage vs Groovy Lando, set it up UFC.
 
Trujillo would fucking destroy him and knock him out cold. Sage needs to be fighting very low ranked opponents like Polo Reyes or Ross Pearson, and I don't even like his chances against them.

Pearson would piece him up and KO him worse than Trujillo.
 
Man that'd be a bad fight for sage. He's a little to hittable and abel has a lot of power
