Decoding what Dana White really means when he says Sage Northcutt ‘needs some work’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:53:12 +0000

Just when the Sage Northcutt show was starting to fulfill some of its promises, it seems the UFC has up and cancelled it. Maybe a better way to put it is, the fight promotion has opted not to renew it for another season. Not right now, anyway. And the explanation for that is very telling, if not terribly surprising. As UFC President Dana White told the hosts of the “UFC Unfiltered” podcast , the company “let (Northcutt) go” after he fought out his existing contract on a three-fight winning streak. “Sage is young, and Sage needs some work,” White said

Currently, fighters from the era that helped make the sport so popular are beginning to trickle away from competition and hang up their gloves in order to move on to the next chapter in life. If there’s one thing that’s well known about combat sports retirements, though, it’s that they often don’t last long. The urge to compete, and perhaps more importantly get a payday, will continue to drive fighters back even well beyond their expiration dates. 2017 has seen an uptick in notable fighters announcing they’re done with the sport, and The Blue Corner has kept a running list of those who have decided in favor in retirement

Bellator 174 results: Julia Budd wins featherweight title vs. Marloes Coenen, who retires

BAD MMA News — Sat, 04 Mar 2017 05:05:31 +0000

Bellator 174 resulted in the addition of a new champion and the loss of a pioneer of women’s MMA. Julia Budd dominated Marloes Coenen for three rounds before finally finishing her in the fourth and winning the inaugural Bellator women’s featherweight title by TKO. “It’s been a long road,” Budd said. “I don’t think anyone thought it would get to this.” Coenen (23-8, 2-2 BMMA), the former Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champion, announced her retirement in her post-fight interview after nearly 17 years as a professional mixed martial artist. Budd (10-2, 4-0 BMMA) opened the first round with a nice takedown, but it was Coenen who looked more comfortable on the ground.
