I’m not sure what kind of vitamins Sage Northcutt is taking, but the former lightweight —who recently returned to welterweight to smashing results (literally) — believes he might still grow another five inches, despite reaching his 22nd birthday back in March.

Sure, most guys max out at the age of 18 and in some rare instances 21, but they aren’t “Super” like Northcutt, who improved his Octagon record to 6-2 after last weekend’s thriller against Zak Ottow (more on that here).

“If you look at my brother, my brother’s like (6’4”), and he’s only 19 years old. So I hope I’m as tall as him,” Northcutt told MMA Junkie. “I might be 6’5”. I could be 220, 230 pounds. I have no idea. My mom’s dad was 6’5”. I could be fighting at 185 in the future. But first, 170.”

In completely unrelated news, Jack Spriggins recently replaced Mike Dolce as Northcutt’s nutrition coach.

The jury is still out on how far Northcutt can take his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. No question he’s a talented striker and markets himself very well, but the welterweight division is top heavy with punishing wrestlers and well-traveled veterans.

Though middleweight has certainly become a more attractive option after this.
