The 22-year-old Northcutt currently holds a professional record of 11-2 to his name. He was on a three-fight winning streak prior to his departure from the UFC with his last win coming up against Zak Ottow at UFC Boise back in July.
Earlier, Dana White had noted that Northcutt ‘needs some work’.
“We let Sage go. Sage is young and Sage needs some work. So let him get some work in one of these other organizations and we’ll see where this kid ends up in a couple of years and maybe we’ll pick him back up again,” Dana said.
