Northcutt had a stunning debut at UFC 192 with a first round TKO of Francisco Trevino. After the fight, Northcutt moved to Toronto to train at the Tri-Star Gym.
Payout Perspective:
The addition of Northcutt adds some interest to the Fight Pass card which is seeking to beef up its programming. Northcutt and VanZant are being groomed to be the next “needle movers” for the sport and in my opinion putting them on the same card is a smart move. Certainly, there can be marketing behind the young fighters at the top of this card which will serve as the “opening act” for Aldo-McGregor on December 12th in Vegas for UFC 194.
