There weren’t many fellow UFC pros offering support to Sage Northcutt after his defeat to Bryan Barberena, but British fighter Michael Bisping had some words of encouragement for the youngster.
Bisping, who is on the card for UFC Fight Night 83 in London on February 27th (we’re going and we can’t wait), tweeted Northcutt to remind him he has time on his side to work on his game…
Poor kid. So much pressure at a young age. So much potential though. You have a bright future sage!

Take 6-8 months off and join a legit fight camp, @sagenorthcutt can be a world champion for sure. The potential is there. Time on his side

Barberena also responded with class to Northcutt, who will no doubt feel boosted by the support of two more experienced competitors.
