Sage Northcutt May Take Time Off From School For Fighting

Sage Northcutt spoke with MMAjunkie for a new interview. Check out the highlights:

On splitting time between school and fighting: “As of now, I’m still a freshman, because I’m 19. But last semester, I was taking full-time classes and the workload is so much that you really don’t get time to train. So I got to work out a little bit, work out, like, biceps and do some cardio, but not much time to train MMA. So in the future, with more fights to come, I might actually take time off from school and take a break and train full-time. That might be a little scary for some people, because I think I’ll be a totally different animal out there training full-time.”

On his hero in the UFC: “I like Georges St-Pierre a lot, because he has, I would say, one of the best takedowns in MMA, and the timing that he has, and plus, he’s an incredible athlete. He’s ripped; he’s lean. He’s a fighter I’ve looked up to and watched since I was little, growing up.”
