After almost a year on the sidelines ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt (8-2) returns to action this Saturday night at UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Pettis. In Norfolk, VA, the 21-year-old karate ace faces UFC sophomore Michel Quinones.

“I wouldn’t say it’s been frustrating, waiting so long to fight, but obviously I wanted to get out there and compete,” said Northcutt to Bloody Elbow. “But I think there’s positives to it as well.”

Northcutt’s last fight was against Mickey Gall at UFC on FOX: VanZant vs. Waterson last December.
