"Super" Sage Northcutt, only twenty years old, returns for his fourth fight in the UFC within the span of nine months since his debut. He will be returning to the lightweight division and fight Enrique Marin on Saturday, July 9, at UFC 200. 
Northcutt last fought in a welterweight bout in January where he lost to Bryan Barberena by submission. Since then, he faced some backlash for tapping out quickly during the fight.
During UFC 200 media day, he spoke to Helen Yee of Eyes On The Game where he discussed his thoughts on fighting on the blockbuster UFC card, returning to the lightweight division, his response to critics, and more.
