:francis:I think some of them are hating too hard...but then again that tap out was pretty bad:sadcam:

It seems like bitterness about his pay/company forced push more so than about Sage himself. .. But like you said that tap was bad you saw it in his eyes when he was mounted that he was looking for an out

Odd that they would be so salty. Bottomline is that if they were in his position they likely would have taken the same notoriety and agreements.

Breh, mark my words - Khabib will absolutely MANHANDLE Ferguson. That weak ass scramble shyt will absolutely not work against that level of grappling. Look at his fight with RDA - this guy is special.

The only thing that can stop Khabib from running 155 is his health.

When you look at it............. yeah the tap was bad but its some grown ass men hating on a weird but friendly 19 year old.
Once you step in that cage, your age is irrelevant, This is the fight game, these people are savages.

Khabib Nurmagomedov offers words of encouragement to Sage Northcutt following his loss on Saturday and ridicules Tony Ferguson for making fun of the 19-year-old.


The hype train for Sage Northcutt came to a screeching halt at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Bader on Saturday night. Northcutt, 19, was being hyped as a mega-prospect by the UFC but was submitted by Bryan Barberena in a shocking upset to kick off the main card.

The lifelong martial artist impressed in the first round but seemed to run out of gas by the 2nd. Northcutt succumbed to an arm-triangle choke from half guard and was subject to ridicule by fellow fighters on Twitter.

One of the lightweights who mocked the 19-year-old was top contender Tony Ferguson, who called Sage a "little bytch" and uploaded a celebratory video on social media.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is expected to face Ferguson in a five-round title eliminator at UFC on Fox 19, slammed "El Cucuy" and offered Northcutt some words of advice.








Northcutt was originally scheduled to take on Andrew Holbrook at lightweight but decided to make the jump to 170 lbs. after his opponent pulled out with a broken foot. It marked the first loss of Northcutt's professional career and the karate world champion will look to reestablish himself as a serious contender.

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson is expected to headline UFC on Fox 19 on April 16th in Tampa, Florida.
