HOUSTON – UFC newbie Sage Northcutt wasn’t on the original docket for Wednesday’s open workouts in Houston.
But earlier this week, the UFC added him to the schedule for the workouts – not bad for a 19-year-old about to make his UFC debut on the Fight Pass portion of the card.
The newly signed Houston-area native makes his debut on Saturday night against Francisco Trevino (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC). A UFC public relations rep told MMAjunkie that Northcutt couldn’t wait come downstairs at the host hotel to meet fans and talk to the media – a big part of the UFC experience, and not something that gets to happen for every fighter in his his first bout with the promotion.
