From the UFC to ONE Championship… A transition that multiple big name fighters are starting to find themselves going through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more recent ones being “Super” Sage Northcutt (11-2) who came as a bit of a surprise to see departing the UFC as they were so fond of him in his still young and developing career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a deal couldn’t be reached between the two parties and now Northcutt finds his new fighting home to be on the other side of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a ONE Championship media gathering<\/a> in Los Angeles (via MMA Fighting<\/a>), Northcutt would make the announcement that his promotional debut will come on May 17 in Singapore when he takes on world-renowned kickboxer, Cosmo Alexandre (7-1 in MMA, 69-19 in KB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bout will take place in the welterweight division (185-pounds under ONE’s rules).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Alexandre, it will be his ONE Championship debut as well… In MMA, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His last MMA fight came in 2016 when he picked up a TKO win over
Musu Nuertiebieke. All but Alexandre’s last two MMA bouts came in Bellator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for his most recent kickboxing outings, they both came in ONE Championship last year as Alexandre went 1-1 with a knockout win over Elliot Compton followed by a knockout loss to Nieky Holzken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northcutt will be coming into ONE Championship riding a very solid three-fight winning streak that consists of wins over Zak Ottow, Thibault Ghouti, and Michel Quinones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to experience, that’s clearly in favor of the 36-year-old Alexandre who has been competing professionally since 2004. The 22-year old Sage Northcutt didn’t start his career until a whole decade later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If one thing’s for sure, it’s that it should be a very interesting striking battle while it lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
