Sage Northcutt gick under helgen sin debutmatch i UFC, där han vann sin sjätte raka avslutsseger då han slog ut Francisco Trevino i första ronden. En som har höga tankar gällande Sage är Kenny Florian, som anser att Northcutt kan bli tio gånger bättre än före detta welterviktsmästaren Georges St-Peirre.
Detta hade Florian att säga, via ”MMAFighting”:
Talk about potential. Talk about dollar signs. This kid could be Georges St-Pierre times 10. When you look at his look and the way that he fights. The explosiveness.
This kid, I think he got to the state championships after only a year of wrestling in high school. He was wrestling at Texas A&M after only a couple years of wrestling. He started wrestling very late. This kid is an athlete through and through. Just look at that flip.
Let’s say fighting doesn’t work out, he could be a movie star. He could be a Jean-Claude Van Damme. Maybe do it at the same time. I creeped on his Instagram after seeing that flip, just kind of going back in his history and he’s like 17 years old running up a grass hill with three tires tied to him.
