LAS VEGAS, NV. (THECOUNT) — Sage Northcutt suffered 8 fractures and was in surgery for 9 hours to repair the damage following a 29-second, first-round knockout in his first MMA championship debut.
Northcutt posted an image to social media showing him recovering from surgery in the hospital.
Northcutt caption the post:
“Fresh out of surgery … I had 8 fractures and a nine hour intense operation. Feeling blessed for the amazing care and all the support from ONE championship, my family/friends and fans!”
Sage’s debut was a disaster … the 23-year-old took a devastating punch at the hands of Cosmo Alexandre to the face, sending him to the canvas with a thunderous face plant. Clearly, the punch did damage, but the face plant may have exacerbated things, reports TMZ.
Sage was cut from the UFC after a lackluster run. UFC honcho Dana White said Northcutt just didn’t cut muster and needed to work on his game.
