UFC lightweight prospect Sage Northcutt came in to the promotion in October of last year with great expectations. He had been featured on Dana White’s ‘Lookin’ for a fight’ reality show, instantly grabbing the attention of mixed martial arts fans, both casual and hardcore.

His first fight in the UFC was a convincing finish over Francisco Trevino, and another squash match win against Cody Pfister led to a UFC on FOX 18 booking against Andrew Holbrook.
