Marc Diakiese Wonders if Sage Northcutt is Asking Mr. Faber for Permission to Fight Him

Justin Golightly - February 23, 2018

Before Sage Northcutt even hit the showers after his hard-fought win at UFC Austin, Marc Diakiese was on Twitter calling him out. He has since followed up with a more polite presentation, clearly winking at the gentlemanly Northcutt, but he hasn’t stopped there. Diakiese is showing he’s serious about the fight by going in depth explaining his proposition. After hearing him explain it, it makes us want the match-up even more. We just hope ‘Mr.’ Urijah Faber agrees to it. “I think it would be a good fight. [Sage Northcutt]’s on a two-fight win streak, and I’m on a two-fight losing streak. To be honest, I watched his fight in Austin, and I thought he lost. I feel the fight makes sense. He’s 10-2 and I’m 12-2. If he beats me, it will really put him out there. I bring a lot of attention to fights and so does he. He likes to stand up and so do I, so I think the UFC will like the idea and I know the fans will really like it too. I think right now he’s probably asking Mr. Faber if he should take the fight. To be honest, I don’t know he feels about it, but I want to take what’s mine. I know I can gain a lot from fighting him, and I think he can gain a lot from fighting me too.”
