Over the past 2 years, Sage Northcutt has been constantly reminded of the defeat in his 29 seconds under the fist of the veteran Brazilian boxer Cosmo Alexandre in his debut. One championship.
After the surgery lasted for 9 hours because of 8 jawbone stretch marks, Sage Northcutt was forced but practiced for a year. Now, the former UFC star will have a match back to Asian martial arts legend Shinya Aoki (46-9). The match will take place on May 29.
“I am practicing extremely hard, dedicating myself, practicing a lot of hours a day, as hard as possible. Hopefully the upcoming performance will be the best performance that I can do.” Sage said in an interview.
The upcoming match of American boxers will certainly not be easy because the British opponent once won the One, Shooto and Dream.
The head coach of Team Alpha Male and former boxer UFC Urijah Faber (35-11) will be at the Indoor Singapore Stadium to support Sage. Besides 25-year-old sister Colbey Northcutt (1-1) will also confront Sovannahry Em (4-1) on the night of the event.
Aoki is currently holding the fourth place on the Lightweight rankings of One. If the opponent is defeated, Northcutt can have the opportunity to compete in the future.
