Top Fighter: UFC Is Protecting Sage Northcutt From Me
Things heated up on social media this weekend as #10th ranked fighter Al Iaquinta took a shot at UFC’s top prospect and chosen one Sage Northcutt. Iaquinta, who is snowed in up in the northeast, posted a video that reminded him of Northcutt and how peppy he is during his interviews. Check it out here:
“What goes through my head every time I hear the fucking Sage Northcutt speak.”

Iaquinta responded to a fan on Twitter and said that the UFC would never have him fight Northcutt and implied that he would beat Northcutt if given the opportunity.
“@MirkoCrosby relax its a joke…. They would never feed him to me lol.”

Iaquinta has been out of action since June of 2015 after suffering a knee injury. To be more exact, Iaquinta had very little cartilage left in his injured knee. Doctors transferred cartilage from a cadaver to Iaquinta’s leg, behind his knee cap. He was expected to be out action for six to eight months, so he should be ready to return to action soon.
On the other hand, Northcutt will be fighting Bryan Barberena at UFC on FOX 18.
It’s possible that if the UFC wanted to book this fight between the two they could. Do you want to see this fight? Let us know.
