Sage Northcutt

[SPX]

Fuck that shit. I want to see him fight Condit at welterweight.

But then we don't get a karate extravaganza.

Go watch Best of the Best if you want that.

Or . . . we could get Northcutt vs Thompson.

Though watching Best of the Best is not a bad idea. I love that movie.

"Tommy, no!!! Coach! COACH! HE'S GONNA KILL HIM!"

Northcutt's never going to be champion. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Pettis wheel kick him into next week as a comeback fight. Make it happen, Dana.

Is this real talk?

He is literally a kid. 19 years old. I think he stands a very good shot at being champ one day. Look at Robbie Lawler.

It was a troll job, but half rooted in truth. How many times have we seen an above average kickboxer(or in this case a karateka) make the move to MMA and never hold a meaningful title? It's great that everyone is getting their nut by running away on another hype train, but let's take a moment to look at who's footsteps he's following in:

Michael Page
Cyrille Diabate
Allistair Overeem
Mirko Cro Cop
Pat Barry
Mark Hunt
Antoni Hardonk
Dennis Siver
Cung Le
Melvin Manhoef
Semmy Schilt
Bob Sapp
Stephen Thomson
Donald Cerrone

Now granted, some of those may pan out(Cerrone), but by and large they've mostly flopped in mma. There's just too much more to the game.

You're killing me, man. "Mostly flopped in MMA?" Why, because they didn't become champ? Nearly everyone you have mentioned has carved out a very respectable career in MMA. The fuck are you even saying here? I literally can't believe this list you put together. Did someone hack your account?

I love how it starts with Michael Page who is 8-0 with three Bellator wins. And Overeem, Cropcop, Hunt, Siver, Cung Le, Menhoef, Thompson? Is THIS also a troll job?

They arent even in the same weight class, man

Jesus Christ, the guy beats a dented can and X is saying he'll be champ someday. Lets see him fight someone with a heart beat first.

Trevino was 12-1. Did he need to be undefeated for you to give him some respect?

And I'm not saying he WILL be champ. I'm saying he VERY WELL COULD BE champ. He has all the tools. He's a karate champion. He wrestled in college. He's fast as fuck. He's only 19 and has a TON of time to improve. And he's really good looking.

I don't see any reason to not at least consider him a prospective title holder one day.
