UFC newcomer and highly touted lightweight prospect Sage Northcutt has set the MMA world abuzz with excitement since his debut at UFC 192.
The 19-year-old, life-long mixed martial artist blitzed Francisco Trevino with an onslaught of punches and ground and pound to score a TKO in the 1st round. What was perhaps more impressive, however, was the front flip he exhibited in the post-fight interview.
Northcutt recently took his MMA and acrobatic talents to Tristar Gymnasium, where he trained alongside his idol, Georges St-Pierre.

While the former kickboxer entered Tristar as a student, Northcutt embraced the teacher-role when he tried to demonstrate his front flip to the rest of the team. Check it out.
Northcutt will not be staying at the Canada-based gym permanently, however, as the college student has a home and MMA academy in Katy, Texas. The undefeated fighter has flirted with the idea of dropping out of college to pursue a full-time career in mixed martial arts, though.
