Watch: The Future of the UFC, Sage Northcutt in a Grappling Match

 

Sage Northcutt (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his UFC debut this weekend. There is huge hype surrounding this 19 year karate fighter as his style is so exciting, and he looks very well rounded.

He is good looking and has modeled professionally since he was a kid.  and has dabbled in acting.

UFC President Dana White discovered Northcutt while scouting talent at a Legacy Fighting Championship a few months back.

Northcutt, 19, is the youngest active fighter on the UFC roster. He is 5-0 in MMA all with impressive finishes.

He is a multiple times world champion in Karate, has wrestled in High School, and trains now in BJJ.

He told MMA fighting:

 

“I started doing martial arts from the time I was four-and-a-half years old,” Northcutt said. “So by the time I was seven I’ve been traveling, competing all around the world, Russia, Croatia, Ireland, Mexico, so many times, everywhere you can think of, I’ve been in front of large crowds since I was little, so I guess that’s part of it. The bigger the crowd, the more I feel comfortable.”
