\u2018Super\u2019 quickly became a fan favorite due to his good looks, charming personality, and entertaining fight style. <\/p>\n
However, Sage Northcutt\u2019s<\/a> career went downhill after he parted ways with the UFC following an impressive 6-2 run in the Octagon.<\/p>\n Sage Northcutt signed for ONE Championship and made his debut for the promotion in May 2019. <\/p>\n It ended in disaster as Cosmo Alexandre brutally knocked him out<\/a> inside 30 seconds at ONE: Enter the Dragon.<\/p>\n The crushing defeat led to Northcutt spending four years away from MMA<\/a> before his return in May 2023. <\/p>\n Northcutt got a nasty submission<\/a> victory in 39 seconds when he made his long-awaited comeback at ONE Fight Night 10.<\/p>\n More than two years later, he has not fought and appears to have no interest in continuing his MMA career. <\/p>\n On Wednesday, it was announced that Northcutt has just accepted a new job as a real estate agent.<\/p>\n It\u2019s currently unclear if this officially ends Northcutt\u2019s MMA career or if he plans to fight again in 2026. <\/p>\n Al Iaquinta quit MMA for real estate <\/p>\n Sage Northcutt is not the first MMA fighter to switch lanes for a career in real estate. <\/p>\n Al Iaquinta famously sold houses for much of his UFC run, which saw him fight Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/a>, Jorge Masvidal<\/a>,\u00a0Dan Hooker<\/a>, Donald \u2018Cowboy\u2019 Cerrone, and more marquee names. <\/p>\n![\"Sage](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-997829296-1024x721.jpg\")
