Northcutt officially signed with ONE nearly a year ago now after parting ways with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. His first fight with the promotion took place at May at ONE Championship: Enter the Dragon, where he was knocked out by Cosmo Alexandre in just 29 seconds.

Fans and even UFC president Dana White are salivating over the prospect of an Adesanya vs. Jones fight, but “The Last Stylebender” says that for now, he wants to stick at 185lbs and defend his belt down there.
