The former UFC Sage Northcutt admitted to having suffered eight fractures to his face after the blow suffered against Brazilian Cosmo Alexandre on his debut for ONE FC, last Friday (17). In a post made on his Intagram, last weekend, the athlete showed X-ray images, which prove the injury. Northcutt was hired by the new organization at the end of last year, after being released by Ultimate.

“Just out of surgery. I had eight fractures and an intense nine-hour operation. I feel blessed by the incredible affection and support from ONE FC, family and friends. I will be back”, published Sage, ending with a reference to the famous phrase from the 1984 film 'The Terminator'.
The loss that occurred at the event, in Singapore to Cosmo, ended a winning streak of three consecutive victories for the North American; all of them for Ultimate.
Since December 2018, ONE's management had been looking forward to Sage's debut for the company. However, Alexandre thwarted everyone's plan by defeating Northcutt by knockout just 29 seconds into the match, giving the athlete no chance to show his skills.
The future for Sage, at the moment, is to wait for his injuries to recover and plan a next fight for the company, which currently also features the Brazilian Vitor belfort in your group of athletes.
At 23 years old, Nothcutt has 14 fights, 11 wins and three losses. The athlete emerged as a great promise for the UFC in 2015, when he won two consecutive victories, at the age of 19, and caught the eye of the company's president, Dana White. The good moment, however, lasted until January 2016, when Sage was defeated by Bryan Barbarena via submission.
