Enrique Marin nearly pulled off the upset against the much-hyped Sage Northcutt at UFC 200. Unfortunately, “nearly” wasn’t enough, and now the 30-year-old’s UFC run is over.
Earlier this week, Marin confirmed on his Instagram page that he’s been let go by the promotion, citing both the loss to Northcutt and “some changes within the company” per the Spanish-to-English translation. (H/T MMA Fighting)
Marin (9-4) lost by split decision to Erick Montano in the final of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2. The Northcutt fight soon followed, and he was close to submitting “Super Sage” in the 2nd round, but was unable to force Northcutt to tap to a deep armbar.
