Nice win for Sage.  Do agree that the stand up in Round 1 was a bit shady.

Pfister's grappling is beyond awful and Sage still couldn't get him off him without the ref's help. The one thing I did like about this, once he saw that he couldn't get Pfister off him on account of the smaller cage he just beat him to the takedown punch. Great strategy. Simple but efffective.

Northcutt needs to go train at Tristar, ATT, or a big name gym full time if he wants to fulfill his potential.

Sage got the win, but he's clearly not ready for even mid-tier fighters in the division. He does have huge potential though. I hope they keep building him up slow. I hope he's not roiding.

Sloppy fight. Good win but a better fighter would have took him done instead of getting taken down.

@AnAlias  Considering his father's past history, I wouldn't put it out of consideration; but, I highly doubt it.
