Is Stephen Thompson what Sage Northcutt was supposed to be?

[M Raid K]

Great karateka, awesome killer instinct, the ability to throw crazy kicks and perform athletic movements (back flip for Thompson, front flip for Northcutt). The UFC has an actual prodigy on their hands and doesn't seem to be interested in promoted him. WTF?

Sage is 19 and a prospect Wonderboy is 32 and the finished article

Wonderboy isn't what Sage was supposed to be no one thought Sage had that ability he's a kid lol

Wonderboy is what Sage could one day become if he dedicates himself to this sport at a great camp

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Not really.

Wonderboy is what Sage should aspire to be.

 

[KlNG]

Wonderboy is what Sage is dreaming to become.

 

[raconnor]

why "was supposed to be" as if he is never going to fight or progress again? no one expected a 19 year old prospect to be as good as a top 5 veteran

 

[MMA-woooooh!!!!]

wonderboy is 32
sage, idk if you know, is only 19

wonderboy is what sage could be

 

[mikenason]

Wonderboy must already be out of his prime being 32 years old. That's how old Fedor, Cain, Shogun was when they lost.

Haaaa. Remember that Sage Northcutt guy? Wonder what he is doing now? He's gotta be almost 20 by now.

 

[soulsstealer]

But muscles.

 

[Metallicalabran]

Thompson debut was like 4 years from now on UFC.

Northcutt debut was like 8 monthns?

And northcutt is like 15 years old and wonderboy like 40

 

[wookie brawl]

A youtuber comment said Sage is a bum version of Wonderboy. He or she is not wrong.

 

[Le 7th Samurai]

It was the same "exposed" threads after Thompson lost to Brown, Sage also is going to improve.

 

[INoHespectChael]

Wonderboy is 62-0 in kickboxing with 40 KOs and 13 years older than Sage.

Can't really compare the two.

 

[Shocktagon]

Maybe Barbarena was Sage's Brown.

DANA WHITE to Sage: "We'll call you."

SAGE: "But . . . " (click)

 

[fightdonttweet]

Sage is a 19 year old kid prospect whose been fighting a year. I've been telling you guys this since before he lost. Why are you still building him up to be something else?

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

No, vice versa man.
