BOL thanks
I get the excitement for an up and coming young fighter who's ceiling, at first glance, seems incredibly high. But the way people have been acting toward Sage smacks of familiarity with the way people overreacted to McGregor, Makwan Amirkwani, and, to some extent, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Some scummy fuck just decided one day to pretend any and all of the above are the best at everything, not only in their own division, but in the entire sport. You've seen Sherdog. Some fans say shit like "McGregor is the best striker in all of MMA", and it's pretty infuriating to see otherwise semi-rational people going full retard because some guy with an accent moves around all funny and spent most of his UFC career knocking out tailor made matchups.
I do think Sage has a promising career ahead of him(so long as this steroid thing doesn't end up being true). I don't think he'll ever be champion at 155lbs. That division is just chock full of guys who do it all, and we have seen wrestlers be hella-bad on their backs. Then agan he's got plenty of time before he hits his prime(assuming his career doesn't get derailed ala Scotty Jorgensen, or Josh Grispi or Ryan Couture). He REALLY needs to work on escaping bottom position, or mounting an offense from bottom position, anything to do with bottom position, really. Because he's going to get taken down at 155lbs, alot by the looks of it.
