who would you like to see Sage fight next?

[Reign009]

This is a serious thread about Sage. Who would you like to see him fight next?

I'd like to see him against someone coming off a win. I think Francisco Trinaldo or Frankie Perez (the guy that just blasted Sam Stout) would be a good second fight.

And if he wins I'd like to see him fight Al Iaquinta or Abel Trujillo. Iaquinta is a stiff test but huge payoff if he wins. Both those fights could be fireworks.

 

[Tooth and Nail]

Someone on a bit of a streak, with a name, but not top 10.

Any TUF winners come to mind?

 

[MarloStanfield]

someone on a fightpass prelim

 

[MarloStanfield]

im over him

 

[JayPettryMMA]

What about KJ Noons or Daron Cruickshank? They've fallen far enough to be worth matching up with this newcomer, while still being names some people know.

Tag team Weidman & Jones. Other than that, Tibau for giggles/maximum derailment.

 

[LaneTM]

Frankie Perez retired literally moments after that fight, and Paul Felder does sound nice, raging al, Michael Chiesa or Evan duhnam

IMO, I'd like to see him against someone that's not declining.

Let him take it slow guys. Let him fight a few guys in a row outside the top 20

Cowboy.

Fuck your hype train.

He's 1-0 in the UFC, hardly worth matching up against someone noteworthy now. Give him a former mid tier guy on the decline to see if he can match up against a veteran on the decline. Sage is ranked #205 right now at LW, 85th in the UFC (source: http://www.fightmatrix.com/mma-rank...Filter=&AgeToFilter=&TeamFilter=&StateFilter=), so no need to go crazy.

Joe Ellenberger is ranked right next to him, how about that?

You're right about Perez. How could I forget. And Felder would be a good fight. Kinda sucks he's on a 2 fight skid though.

 

[Gazwald]

Henry Armstrong Miller

 

[Bet Me]

Gilbert Burns or Joe Ellenburger

 

[TCE]

Vinc Pichel would be a good test for him.

Others:

David Michaud
Kajan Johnson
Yan Cabral
Zak Cummings
Ivan Jorge
Alan Patrick

All stern tests for him at this point in his career.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Another gimmie fight. Someone like Cody Pfister or Kajan Johnson

 

[nublood]

Dana: Hey, you wanna fight Sage Northcutt?

Fighter: Sure boss, I'll be his next sacrificial lamb.

 

[STARSCREAM]

Someone top 15-25 maybe a Tavares type.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Honey Roy Palmer style evening of matches against everyone from Jersey Shore.
