Kevin Lee Wants a Fight With Sage Northcutt

Kevin Lee spoke with MMAjunkie about his desire to fight Sage Northcutt and more. Check out the highlights:

On his wish to fight Northcutt: “If Sage wants to fight, I think Sage shuts down after the first round. I think as soon I get in there, hit him a couple of times, he shuts down. I don’t think this kid has ever been through anything.”

On calling Northcutt a “young, suburban, rich kid”: “I think a lot of other fighters feel that. They won’t say sh-t, but I will. We can settle it right now. I hope he’s listening in so he can hear me – he can hear what I’m saying about him. I’m going to call (UFC matchmaker) Joe (Silva) as soon as I get off the phone with you guys. We can do it at 194. (UFC) 194, here in Vegas, biggest fight card of the year. He’ll live the shortest career that the UFC has known.”

On Northcutt: “I just know he’s a rich, privileged white boy, and as soon as he gets in there and gets hit and sees some adversity thrown into his face, I think he’s going to crumble. I think I’m a better striker than him. I damn sure know I’m a better wrestler than him, so I think I can beat him everywhere.”

On his fight with Leo Santos at UFC 194: “I’m going to beat the hell out of Santos. After the first minute, he’s going to realize he doesn’t belong in there. He’s going to go into defense mode, and I’m going to beat the hell out of him and make some good money.”
