Tapped super quick. Weird position to finish the choke

To be honest though, Sage gave the fight away. Not only did he tap to a choke that wasn't locked up, but he was winning up until he threw that stupid flying kick. But yes, hype train derailed, he has some raw talent for sure but needs to improve cardio and wrestling.

@Follow Hey *******, Sage ain't "my boy".  Unlike you with McGregor, I'm not attached to Nortcutt at the hip. I don't get all the hate for a kid who is living a life that most people don't get the chance to live.  I understand the hate for his drug dealing dad, but not the kid.

If anything Sage is clearly talented so he'll hopefully learn from this. It's basically a Stephen Thompson VS Matt Brown situation

People don't hit that choke, guys. Barberena just did something new. Very impressive. May have been a good blood choke #UFCNewJersey

Sage is worlds behind on the ground. At least from his back. 

Nobody at the UFC level should be caught with an opposite side Arm Triangle from the half.
