“Super” Sage Northcutt will be part of the UFC 200 card, as GQ confirmed a fight vs. Enrique Marin on Thursday.
Northcutt (7-1) suffered his first loss this past January, submitting to an arm-triangle choke put on by Bryan Barberena. He accepted the fight at welterweight after Andrew Holbrook pulled out of the planned bout.
After signing with the UFC last year, Northcutt debuted in impressive fashion, finishing Francisco Trevino inside of a minute. He added a second round submission win over Cody Pfister to his resume to close out the year before the Barberena loss.
Marin (8-3) lost his Octagon debut in November to Erick Montano, snapping a six-fight win streak for the fighter also known as “Wasabi.”
The main event for the July 9 card will feature Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz, with Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar colliding for the interim featherweight belt.
