Sage Monroe Northcutt[6] (born March 1, 1996) is an American professional mixed martial artist. He has competed at both lightweight and welterweight divisions in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[4]

Background

Northcutt has been training MMA since the age of 4[7] and competed all over the world from a young age. His father, Mark, is a black belt in shuri-ryū karate, and his older sister, Colbey, is an amateur kickboxing champion.[8] At the age of 9, Northcutt became the youngest person ever to be on the cover of Sport Karate Magazine.[9] Northcutt has won a total of 77 world youth championships in karate.[4] He was also an undefeated kickboxer, with his record standing at 15–0.[10]

Northcutt attended Seven Lakes High School for his first 2 years of high school before transferring to Katy High School during his sophomore year.[10] Northcutt was inducted into the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame in 2012 at age 15.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

In 2013, Northcutt began competing on the Legacy Fighting Championship amateur mixed martial arts(MMA) series, amassing an amateur record of 5-1 with his only loss coming on his first bout against Charles Sheppard by technical-knockout (TKO) in the first round. At the age of 18, he turned pro and racked up a 5–0 record in 16 months.[11]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Northcutt was featured in the debut episode of Dana White's Looking For A Fight.[12] After a victory at Legacy Fighting Championship 44, he was signed to the UFC.[4][9][13]

In his UFC debut, Northcutt also made his lightweight debut when he faced Francisco Trevino on October 3, 2015 at UFC 192. He won via technical-knockout (TKO) in 57 seconds.[14]

Northcutt's second UFC fight was against Cody Pfister on December 10, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 80.[15][16] Northcutt won the fight via guillotine choke in the second round.[17]

Northcutt was expected to face Andrew Holbrook on January 30, 2016 at UFC on Fox 18.[18] However, after Holbrook withdrew from the bout citing an injury eight days prior to the event, Northcutt would instead make his welterweight debut against Bryan Barberena.[19][20] Northcutt lost the bout via submission (arm-triangle choke) in the second round.[21]

Northcutt made a return to lightweight and faced Enrique Marín on July 9, 2016, at UFC 200, where he won via unanimous decision.[22][23]

Northcutt had his second welterweight bout when he faced Mickey Gall on December 17, 2016 at UFC on Fox 22.[24] He lost the contest via submission in the second round.[25]

In the same appearance, Northcutt said he planned to listen for offers from various promotions.[35]

Personal life
