I remember Faber making a bunch of excuses for that loss afterwards. I always thought he should not have let Sage take that fight. It was an incredibly difficult style match up & he was likely to get hurt badly.He got his face smashed by Cosmo Alexandre who was a weight class smaller than Sage (most of Cosmo career). Cosmo isn’t a big guy just incredibly skilled at MT.
I trained with Cosmo at the Blackzilians (when they were at imperial athletics which was their first home). Cosmo is a smaller framed guy than Sage by a decent amount with that said he is an absolute fucking demon when it comes to striking. He gave everyone in the gym major trouble even Rumble (rip)…Cosmo once leg kicked me so badly in sparring over 4 rounds that I couldn’t bend my lead leg for a week. I had to use the toilet with a folding chair in front of me because I couldn’t sit properly. He is next fucking level. I knew Sage was super fucked when that fight was made.I’ll admit I haven’t even thought about that fight in years, I do remember that Cosmo was an extremely good MT fighter. IIRC it was an interview with Mark Northcutt about some misunderstandings from Sage’s camp about fighting at welterweight,(170), which was what they originally intended, One FC shoehorned them into 185 using the hydration testing and this being Sages first fight with the promotion as the means. He also commented on how Cosmo looked especially juicy after a long layoff from competition. Apples or oranges you could interpret it as an excuse for the bad loss or something like Sage was coerced to take the fight at a weight he had no business fighting at, essentially middleweight.
I mean with zero experience he wouldn't just start his own place?I do not think you could cement a loss more unambiguously than this.
Nothing wrong with being a real estate agent, but for someone who was propounded as a world beater, being PART of someone else's real estate brokerage appears to me as an incredibly violent fall from grace. Talk about having your wings ripped off.
EDIT: Let me clarify by saying I wish him the best, and indeed better than this. I hope he becomes a broker and runs the place. I think his work ethic is deserving of success.
Thanks for sharing this, it’s amazing how Sage was able to stay somewhat conscious, looked like a flash KO and going face first into the canvas woke him up… circling into his power with hands down was a terrifyingly stupid strategy, for all intensive purposes eating that bomb ended Sages career.I trained with Cosmo at the Blackzilians (when they were at imperial athletics which was their first home).

Hey, a lot of them put their faces on that "For Sale/Sold" sign. Being a pretty boy isn't insignificant in the real estate game.Dude was blessed with 0.01% percentile genetics and he becomes a real estate agent?
Considering real estate a career is a joke. I can drive myself to a house and read a brochure on my own. Why these people get paid for doing nothing or offering a "service" that requires zero skill of any kind is beyond me.

Most people who want to buy a house aren't ready to pull the trigger, the agent is there to gently push them to make a decision.Considering real estate a career is a joke.

Then you'll still have to deal with/probably pay the selling agent. The thing they do best is accurately price a property for the market which the average person can't do because they have an emotional investment in their house and without fail, think it's worth way more than anybody is willing to pay for it. Case in point, dude down the street FSBOs his house and slaps a price on it that is way too high. It sits around for 5-6 months and he finally brings in an agent. The first thing she does is drop the price by 100k.Considering real estate a career is a joke. I can drive myself to a house and read a brochure on my own.

I agree but a good real estate agent is also a point of reference and an intermediary with construction companies and craftsmen, in some circumstances they can be useful.Considering real estate a career is a joke.
