About Sage...

[Kansu]

People talk about how young he is, and how a loss at 19 years of age is something he will learn about, and how quick he will rebound from that.

That is all true.

What's not true is his potential. He showed nothing in the cage that would make you believe he'll be Jon Jones by age 2X, or A.Silva at 3X, or Randy Couture at 40. Beating two guys that could very well be random guys at local shows, and getting beat in your third fight, displays no evidence he's good, or that he will be good at any point.

Let's not pretend he's been showing MVP skill in those wins. We have no evidence of nothing, just a justification, that he's 19 years old. So what? Being young and ripped is the evidence of his potential?

"Super Sayan," Sage, "Rage," NORTHCUTT is a true prodigy and is mma elite. Deal with it ts.

agree and disagree. in terms of actual talent and current ability, then yes. I've seen very little out of him that suggests he is particularly predisposed to being an amazing top tier fighter.

however, not many people get to train with the elites in mma at 18 years old and get to get experience competing at the highest level at that young an age. if he continues pursuing mma seriously, he does have potential in the sense that he will have more high level training and competition experience on the biggest stage by the time he physically peaks than basically anyone in the mma world.

At that age he can vastly improve his game, so talking about it now is making conjetures.
