10 Weirdest UFC Stories From 2016 So Far

3. The Wolves Come Out To Shred Sage Northcutt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bklcDXRwYfI Sage Northcutt was the hottest new star in the UFC until he wasn't. Despite suffering just his first professional loss in his third UFC fight (he now stands at 7-1 overall), apparently, Northcutt is a fraud, can't handle pressure, taps early, and doesn't have what it takes. Say what? The vitriol spewed in his direction following Northcutt's shocking loss at UFC on Fox 18 was so voluminous as to be almost comical. In short, the hate parade rained down like a deluge, and it wasn't just fans enjoying tearing down the boy of the moment, but fellow fighters as well. It was pretty sad, to say the least. Northcutt is young, talented, and is being hated on for exactly those reasons, plus the fact that he is earning more money than some fighters with more experience, which has a lot to do with his image, and the media circus that came with him. Not his fault. Luckily, he has made a smart move and is joining top gym Tri-Star in Montreal to help improve his game - and lets not forget that his first loss came when he was fighting up a weight class.
