After Northcutt&#8217;s originally scheduled lightweight opponent Andrew Holbrook had to pull out of their fight set for UFC on FOX 18 this Saturday, Northcutt was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mmanews\/sage-northcutt-gets-new-opponent-welterweight-holbrook\/\">given a new opponent<\/a> at welterweight. Northcutt is now set to fight Bryan Barberena at 170-pounds and is loving that he gets to eat more ahead of his fight.<\/p>\n<p>Northcutt spoke with <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2016\/01\/feeling-super-human-ufc-on-fox-18s-sage-northcutt-open-to-permanent-welterweight-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMA Junkie<\/a> recently on how he is feeling ahead of his bout this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found out that my opponent that I was going to fight broke his foot, and that was at 155,\u201d he told MMAjunkie. \u201cSo now the new opponent that got arranged for me is at 170, welterweight. I had actually cut back the amount of food I was eating. I was already getting close to my weight of fighting at 155, and now I feel great. I feel super strong. I feel like a super human getting to eat all this food and going back to welterweight at the last minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI imagine with only seven or eight days, to be able to find an opponent that can get their medicals done at 155 or any weight class, is very tough,\u201d Northcutt said. \u201cMy opponent that I\u2019m fighting currently at welterweight actually had a fight scheduled a few weeks after my fight that I have on Jan. 30. So it works out perfect. He was already going to fight at welterweight, so all I had to do was move up to make 170.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This will be Northcutt&#8217;s third fight in less than four months and with another win at welterweight, he says he could be staying there for an extended time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a chance that I might fight another fight at 170 or two more fights and go back to 155,\u201d Northcutt said. \u201cI\u2019m not really sure yet exactly what the plan is, but it\u2019s very possible I\u2019ll have more fights and stay here at 170 and very possible I\u2019ll go back to 155 in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undefeated Sage Northcutt has taken a shift in the UFC.
