Sage Northcutt is ready to keep his career rolling with ONE Championship, and his debut is set.
Northcutt, 22, announced Tuesday at a media event in Los Angeles that he’s booked to meet kickboxing specialist Cosmo Alexandre on May 17 in Singapore. The fight will take place at welterweight, which, under ONE rules, means 185 pounds. Northcutt has bounced between 170 and 155 so far in his young career.
Northcutt (11-2) will enter on a three-fight winning streak in the UFC, which opted not to re-sign him after his contract expired last year. In his most recent bout, Northcutt knocked out Zak Ottow last July at UFC Fight Night 133. Northcutt went 6-2 during his nearly three-year UFC stint.
Alexandre (7-1), 36, hasn’t competed in MMA since September 2016. He lost his professional debut with Bellator in 2011 before winning seven straight, including his next five under the Bellator banner. He’s 1-1 in two kickboxing appearances for ONE.
