ONE Championship VP Rich Franklin relates to ‘mental exercise’ Sage Northcutt faces in return from injury

When Sage Northcutt was in the hospital, Rich Franklin made sure to visit him.

“It was a pretty devastating shot,” Franklin recently told MMA Junkie Radio. “The injuries were fairly severe. It wasn’t like he broke an arm and had to get casted, in and out. He spent some time there, so I stopped in.”

Northcutt needed surgery after he suffered multiple facial fractures in a devastating knockout loss to Cosmo Alexandre. That was the last time Northcutt fought, in his ONE Championship debut way back in May 2019.
