“Super” Sage Northcutt will be part of the UFC 200 card, as GQ confirmed a fight vs. Enrique Marin on Thursday.

Northcutt (7-1) suffered his first loss this past January, submitting to an arm-triangle choke put on by Bryan Barberena. He accepted the fight at welterweight after Andrew Holbrook pulled out of the planned bout.

After signing with the UFC last year, Northcutt debuted in impressive fashion, finishing Francisco Trevino inside of a minute. He added a second round submission win over Cody Pfister to his resume to close out the year before the Barberena loss.

Marin (8-3) lost his Octagon debut in November to Erick Montano, snapping a six-fight win streak for the fighter also known as “Wasabi.”

The main event for the July 9 card will feature Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz, with Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar colliding for the interim featherweight belt.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is out of jail, agreeing to new provisions to his current probation during a hearing Thursday morning.

Jones appeared in the New Mexico Second Judicial District Court, agreeing to attend anger management and driver improvement courses, as well as do 60 more hours of community service.

The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office was denied a ruling that would have restricted Jones from being out between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., as Judge Michael E. Martinez denied the provision. Martinez did invoke a condition that “Bones” must receive approval from his probation officer whenever he wants to drive while under probation.

This should all keep Jones on track to fight Daniel Cormier next month at UFC 197 for the light heavyweight title.

Last week, Jones was ticketed for five different items after being pulled over in Albuquerque, New Mexico, including drag racing. In 2015, he was involved in a hit-and-run incident that landed the UFC superstar in jail and suspended from fighting. The promotion stripped him of the title at that point, with Cormier winning the belt with a submission win over Anthony Johnson.

UFC president Dana White appeared on Wednesday night’s edition of “SportsCenter” on ESPN to discuss plans for July’s UFC 200 event.

It was confirmed that Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz and Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar for the interim featherweight title will draw top billing at the event. A handful of other matches were also confirmed, but nothing in regards to the female divisions.

“You should expect a couple,” White said. “Actually, two-or-three maybe.”

White wouldn’t go into any further detail, only offering up a laugh when UFC female bantamweight champion Miesha Tate’s name popped up. Tate won the title earlier this year, submitting Holly Holm.

Cris “Cyborg” Justino is set for May against Leslie Smith in a catchweight bout, while Cat Zingano, Amanda Nunes and several other top contenders remain fight-less.
