NangaParbatWinter16 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sage Northcutt WAS the next big thing but last night joined a list of fighters that lack the heart of a top level fighter. The list includes guys like Rumble Johnson and Uriah Hall so he can still have a decent career its just we all know if these guys are put in a tight spot they will tap like good uns or look for a way out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunchBag Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 looked more like a cardo issue rather than a heart issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suq_Madiq Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would say it was actually more heat than cardio, personally. That being said, you'd be surprised at how quick your cardio can go when you are getting punched in the face! What it looked like, is that Sage is just not used to getting hit like that, or being put in that kind of situation. Was unfamiliar territory for him, at the end of it, he looked for a way out rather than toughing it out. I seen him wince a few times after taking shots, where other fighters would have continued with their poker face. Sage will come good, he has to learn how to take a few shots first though. He needed that experience and will grow from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NangaParbatWinter16 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The fact he got put in a tight situation and tapped rather than fight through it speaks about lack of heart, It was like Johnson in the DC fight or the Koscheck fight he gave up the subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillandpower Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Lack of heart combined with bad cardio and very inexperienced. Sage could have got that W by keeping the fight standing but decided to do exactly what Barberena wanted him to do, simple as that. I still think Sage got a bright future ahead of him doe. Lets just see now how he will deal with that L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hells_Bartender Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 He's 19 year old. Leave the kid alone. Who are we to slate the guy. Anderson was 30 when he made his debut. He'll learn and get better. Probably made about 200k in the last 4 months. Can't have heart and be great. Gsp tapped to strikes and tapped with one second left of the round and is arguably the greatest of all time. ..... So stfu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_H. Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Everybody's talking like this kid is championship material. I just don't see it. He may very well become good but I don't see him in the top 10 even after a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITs-Time Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Every single one of you talking about heart, etc would crap themselves in the cage if one of these guys got a hold of you, myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
