“In my day”, the announcement of a non-UFC fight was big news. After all, the UFC wasn’t the only game in town. Some of the sport’s biggest stars began outside the UFC: CroCop, Fedor, Shogun, Rampage, etc. The announcement of a non-UFC fight is now just big news to fight nerds like myself. But that doesn’t matter because today we’re getting a doozy.
According to ONE officials speaking with Ariel Helwani, we’re getting former(ish) blue chip prospect Sage Northcutt vs. former legend Shinya Aoki in April.
