If Mehdi Baghdad, who despite being a seasoned striker is very, very one dimensional, came close to finishing Makdessi, I think Northcutt could seal the deal.

when he swings his rusted blades somones
going to leave with a
damaged ego and
sore landing spots (watch the nose and leg and more)
but Sage clearly has the superior looks, charm and swag
everyones wants Sage to dominate bcos yeah mmm ( you hear that ?? ) its a weird, rising hissing applauding sound
its time for Sages Dad ( steroids ruin lives especially those with no ideas yet) to bring a body bag

Of course he can win, he's got the skillset, but this is a fight tailored into Sage's powerhouse. A good opponent with a lot of disadvantages.

John is obviously a good striker too,he has a chin and there's still some questions about Sage's stand up vs a good striker which we have never seen,not even close.I also wonder about Sage possibly kinda falling apart a bit if things aren't going his way in the striking,his fight IQ,durability,ability to go 3 strong like Makdessi.Does Makdessi have one of his do absolutely nothing but throw some jabs fight?Sage will likely force him into a fight and think that's good for both guys as Sage can win pushing the pace and John is better when he's more active even if it's forced.Lot's of questions here.

It's a good fight, but I still think it's been tailored by the UFC to maybe try and build some of the hype he's lost. And if he doesn't beat Makdessi (again, not an easy task but doable since he has all the physical tools to do so), then the UFC can officially say they've got no future wonderboy on their hands (though I doubt they will).
Makdessi's a fun fighter, but he's undersized for 155 and will always be mid-division. If Sage has any real potential (which I doubt he has because skill can be taught but that "it factor" which I think he's lacking you either have or you don't) he needs to win this fight.
