Dana White believes Sage Northcutt ‘needs to retire’

It wasn’t long ago that Sage Northcutt was being pushed as a can’t-miss prospect on the UFC roster.

Now company president Dana White is calling for “Super Sage” to consider getting out of the fight business.

Northcutt, 23, is not currently under contract with the UFC. After going 6-2 in the promotion competing at lightweight and welterweight, Northcutt parted ways with the UFC via free agency and signed on with Singapore’s ONE Championship. He made his ONE debut in May, facing veteran kickboxer Cosmo Alexandre in a 185-pound bout, and the fight ended with Northcutt being left face-down on the canvas by a right hand from Alexandre.
