Sage Northcutt, a dynamic presence in mixed martial arts, is set to embark on a new chapter in his career with the PFL in 2025. Following his departure from ONE Championship earlier this year, the 28-year-old fighter has signed with PFL to reignite his career with the activity and opportunities he seeks.
Northcutt, boasting a professional record of 12-3, became a free agent after a five-year stint with ONE Championship. During that period, he competed only twice, a fact that fueled his desire for a fresh start. A source familiar with the matter confirmed Northcutt’s signing on Thursday, though the PFL has yet to make an official announcement.
It remains uncertain whether “Super” Sage will enter the PFL’s 2025 season or participate in its Super Fight series, but he is expected to compete as a welterweight. This move represents a significant opportunity for Northcutt to regain momentum in his career.
Northcutt burst onto the MMA scene in 2015, making a splash with his UFC debut at just 19 years old. During his UFC tenure, he competed eight times, showcasing his athleticism and potential. However, his transition to ONE Championship in 2019 was marred by setbacks, including a devastating 29-second knockout loss to Cosmo Alexandre in his debut, which left him with severe facial injuries.
After a prolonged absence, Northcutt returned to the cage in May 2023, delivering a stunning 39-second heel hook victory. That performance signaled his readiness to move forward and seek consistent competition, a goal he hopes to achieve with the PFL.
The PFL offers a unique format with its season-based structure and high-profile Super Fight series, providing Northcutt a stage to reclaim his status as a top-tier athlete. Fans are eager to see how the promising talent will fare in this next phase of his career.
