I dont like Sage. Hes fine but theres nothing there, i have no reason to like him. If you guys think acting cute and unflappably positive on social media is really cool, theres a bunch of 15 year old Vine and Youtube stars you should Like and Subscribe to Hes a bad fighter but its not really his fault the UFC chose to push him, you cant hold that against him. It was funny when people here were unironically calling him a future champ after he beat Cody Fister

Sage is actually pretty decent at striking, especially for his level of experience, but his grapping ain't good and it appears that his father is preventing him from doing any of the things that would result in it getting better.

Based on what you've seen of Gall is it a good matchup?

RagingHematoma posted:Based on what you've seen of Gall is it a good matchup? Its hard to say much about Gall since his 2 fights have both been against total amateurs and Sage actually has a lot more experience, but he at least seems like a good grappler with some good attributes and a fast learner. Whereas Sage is kind of a one trick pony who doesnt seem that concerned with getting better. I think maybe Sage would be a slight favorite on the betting odds if the fight happened right now

Sage has had very recent fight evidence that he's not too comfortable on the ground and Gall has evidence (not necessarily his UFC fights) of legitimate grappling skills. What we learned from his Punk fight is he's well prepared, very confident, and knows how to pick his moments (eg. Wanted to show off his striking but shot the double when Punk came at him 'hot'). Gall also showed us a little bit of his GnP threat which is a big weapon for a grappler.

Ive only seen Galls UFC fights but i remember in Sage's "looking for a fight" D-league fight where they first found him, he brutally double leg slammed some guy and outgrappled him and choked him out, and that guy was probably roughly as good as CM Punk so idk. Everyone kinda does that when you face someone who sucks. I know people have said Gall is a good brown belt though so thats a point in his favor

willie_dee posted:Is Sages dad still being a dick about his training? Yeah. I think Tri-Star have made another attempt to get him to go there, but his Dad continues to refuse to let him go. It would probably take another loss, but this one where he doesn't have the excuse of step throat or whatever to see him actually make a move. It's a shame because people who spar with him have nothing but nice things to say about the kid, but until he gets away from his fathers influence he's just not going to develop.

For some reason I thought sage was a lightweight. Or was it just that he fought lightweights at welter

So i just wikipediad it and he had 2 at 155, 2 at 170, and all his fights before that were at a 165 lb catchweight made up specifically for him in Texas lol

I say this because I remember Goldberg saying something stupid at UFC 200 about him still being undefeated at 155.

Gall is a legit grappler and it looks like he punches super hard on the ground. Doesn't bode well for Sage, but I like that matchup a whole lot.

i don't really follow social media so i've got no opinion on sage northcutt outside of three fascinating truths: he looks like a child's drawing of the sun, he taps to submissions that aren't submissions and doesn't tap to submissions that are definitely submissions. every fight he's had in the ufc has been watchable. borderline completely unique. i like sage.

The Human Crouton posted:Does anybody know who that guy in the red shirt was that rushed the octagon during the Werdum fiasco? He was just some dude in the crowd who jumped the fence, but all they did was send him back to his seat instead of ejecting him. Seems like an ejectible offense for someone who isn't connected to the fighters in some personal way. The one with the neck tattoos? That's Babalu. I don't know if he trains with werdum anymore, but no poo poo they didn't kick him out.

He was cut after this fight.

That was the perfect Overeem showcase fight: - Overeem almost winning in the 1st minute - running - guillotine - running - huge kicks and knees - unsound defense once his chin's been tested - running - losing - having excuses lined up Getting called out right away was new and awesome, though. Mean Bean Machine posted:The Overeem Very Pantastic Body japanese guy is probably watching this fight right now, and that brings a tear to my eye He's Korean. But let's cue it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDT1r55vwjM
