UFC getting ready to give Northcutt a Valentina style squashmatch

[truthisfreedom]

LOL Dana/WME have no shame in their desperate attempts to build stars.

Gave Valentina a squash match to try and market her, then when they got what they wanted, blamed Yamasaki.

Then they turn around and give Sage his own squash match, fighting a guy who's 1 - 3 in the UFC, only win against another guy who's UFC record is 2 - 5.


Let me guess, it's gonna be the ref's fault again, right?


So shameless that they can't even give him an opponent with a winning UFC record...

 

[RiotWyatt]

Maybe they just know that Sage really isn’t that good.

 

[KB Warrior]

Give him a break, he’s only 19

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Well that's your opinion Mr. truthisfreedom, and that's fine! But I think it's a great match-up for Sage. He's only 19 and needs to be built up slowly. God bless!

Don't forget to use Lean Body® products!

Valentina was the #1 Bantamweight contender fighting a girl making her UFC Debut.
Sage Northcutt is barely a mid level lightweight fighting a guy with 4 fights in the UFC

 

[Chivas GDL]

Its not the same kind of mismatch. Valentina is a top 3 p4p female fighter, Sage is not even a top 15 lightweight and he has struggled with no names before.

He's 4 - 2 in the UFC. They shouldn't be so shameless in what they're trying to do.


At least give him someone with a winning record.

 

[Draxton]

The dude has 6 of his 12 wins by sub, Sae is screwed.

Yeah head 1-3 in the ufc, but Sage isn’t doing so well either. This is nothing like the Val scenario.

Mario Yamasaki:

Obviously they want him to win, but Sage is not nearly as good as Valentina. Not even remotely close. Don't be fucking ridiculous TS.

Sage flakes out on the big stage every time. He will be a favorite but not even a huge one. Unless he is continually progressing in training I wouldn't be surprised if he gets taken down and subbed.

This is closer to the truth.

Giving Sage a higher tier opponent at this time would be the real squash match.

At least give the dude someone with a winning record FFS.

Gouti is 11-3

...

never mind.....SQUASH AWAY!


WAR SAGE!

 

[ArtemV]

Why the hell is Sage on the main card.. over Dariush vs Green.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Man it's good to be Sage Northcutt. Do little as possible. Get overpaid by the UFC. Get tons of money from Twitter Sponsorship. Going to college.

I wish I was Sage

 

[magicmarker]

Would rather see Sage vs CM Punk. If they're going to destroy the legitimacy of the sport we love, they may as well book something interesting in it's place.

At first you were saying this fight is a travesty due to it being a horrible mismatch, it's not. He's 11-3 and Sage is currently hovering above mediocre.

Now you're changing your tune towards, how dare they try and build fighters. It doesn't matter. Gouti is probably only in the UFC because he's suppose to help build Northcutt, otherwise he have been scrapped. I'm sure he's not upset that he's been given one more chance to fight and win in the UFC.

It's not like Sage will ever make it to the top by fighting guys like Gouti anyway.

 

[1King]

Is Sage only 19? I feel like he's been in the UFC, and we been saying "he's only 19!" for like 3 years now, lmao.

Haven't change any tune at all.

Stop the squash matches, and give these dudes fair competition.
