Sage is a joke

[robbyp]

Literally has no idea what to do on the ground. Dude didn't even try to defend that rear naked choke.

To think the hype this guy once had...

 

[Holysmoke]

agreed

 

[Jack Frost]

He almost lost his arm last fight.

 

[chinarice]

Yup but Mickey better get that standup in check because he is gonna get wrecked if he fights anyone with decent wrestling.

 

[rambosabeast]

He's only 19.

 

[lecter]

I'd win a grappling match against Sage.
Not that I want to grapple with him, just saying..

 

[ReasonableMMAFan]

Such a shame. Looked like he just gave up...actually legit disappointed.

 

[Croo67]

Looked like he tried to tap as soon as it went to ground. I'll have to watch it again, but that's what it looked like to me.

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

He has speed but his striking isn't that great for MMA either.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Well he just knocked down Sage so it's good enough

 

[Kirin]

After he tapped from an arm triangle in half guard, you knew he was a novice on the ground. Embarrassing to say the least.

 

[The Bard]

Who was that wrestling coach he is training with? Never heard of the guy. Probably for good reason.

 

[egk]

And think of the money he makes. The whole WW division must have been watching this fight and been pissed off.

 

[cambo78]

Sage's ground game is as weak as Gall's standup. BOTH shouldn't be in the UFC.

 

[robbyp]

He's only 19.

And? Vitor Belfort was 19 too.

 

[TheWobbler]

He needs to cut his dad out of his MMA career and join a camp that has good coaches.

He had some nobody training him in the road to the octagon episode, he needs to go to AKA and wrestle with the elite.

 

[sky]

What the fuck was he doing at Gracie Barra ?

 

[Nukes]

He's too green I believe. He looked out of character in there, probably rustled by Gall. His ground game is severely lacking but he has conditons. Give him time.

 

[chinarice]

Well he just knocked down Sage so it's good enough

Sage is not that good..... lol

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

He's a whole lot better than 99% of fighters were at 19.

I think he should take a long break and stick with a real camp. Worst thing he could do is wear down his body/chin before he has a chance to grow his skills.
