Fighter reactions to Sage Northcutt's UFC on FOX 18 loss were harsh to say the least


Sage Northcutt’s fellow fighters didn’t hesitate to kick him while he was down after the 19-year-old suffered the first defeat of his career on Saturday at UFC on FOX 18.

With plenty of hype around him, Northcutt (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) made his third UFC appearance in less than four months when he took on Bryan Barberena (11-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) on the FOX-televised main card at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Barberena managed to discover flaws in Northcutt’s ground game and in the second round worked his way into a fight-ending arm-triangle choke. The defeat put an end to Northcutt’s perfect record and slowed the hype around him.

Northcutt has become a polarizing figure on the UFC roster in his brief stint with the organization, and the reaction on social media following his defeat proved as much. Check below to see how fighters added insult to injury following Northcutt’s UFC on FOX 18 defeat.
