Brazilian martial arts star Cosmo “Good Boy” Alexandre wants to roll out the red carpet for American prodigy “Super” Sage Northcutt, as he welcomes the youngster to ONE Championship at ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON.
The two athletes square off in the ONE ring this Friday, 17 May at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
“He’s never fought anybody like me before,” Alexandre said.
“He can say that he will keep the fight standing, but I’m not worried about that. He has to worry about that, not me.”
The Brazilian is a multi-awarded athlete and a World Champion in multiple disciplines including Muay Thai and kickboxing. Against Northcutt however, Alexandre returns to the world of mixed martial arts where he owns a 7-1 professional slate.
Northcutt has previously mentioned he wants to put on a good show in his ONE Championship debut. Alexandre however remains confident he can spoil the young star’s plans to make a good first impression.
“I’ve never watched his fights, but I know who he is, I just don’t know anybody from mixed martial arts,” he says.
“I heard Sage is a strong fighter and very explosive, so I need to be careful. He says he will keep the fight standing, maybe because it is not Muay Thai, but mixed martial arts in small gloves. Maybe he feels like he will have an advantage with that, but I bet after he feels the first kick or the first knee, he will try to take me down.”
With days left to go until the highly-anticipated event, Alexandre is confident he can pull off the upset and make headlines as the man who beat the mixed martial arts prodigy.
As such, Alexandre has enjoyed camp and is wrapping up nicely before he makes his walk down the ramp at ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON.
“I am feeling great for this fight, the camp is very good with great wrestling, Muay Thai, and boxing training with Pedro Diaz,” Alexandre concluded.
“I like to fight in mixed martial arts, and to train in it too, because every day is something different. I’ve done Muay Thai for 16 years already, so training can get a bit boring. Fighting in Muay Thai is fun, but to train for mixed martial arts is much more fun.”

Northcutt finished his UFC contract with a three-fight win streak in July. He signed with ONE Championship in November. He’s set to make his promotional debut on May 17 at the ONE: Championship: Rise Of Warriors show. He’ll be facing Cosmo Alexandre, a former Bellator fighter who hasn’t fought in mixed martial arts (MMA) since 2016.
Alexandre has, however, stayed very active in kickboxing, racking up a record of 69-23-19.

Sage Northcutt has his first bout booked under the ONE Championship banner which will mark his promotional debut.
The rising prospect decided during his time as a free agent that it was best for him to sign with ONE instead of staying with the UFC. Northcut made an appearance back in 2015 on the debut episode of Dana White’s Lookin’ for a Fight web series. He would later go 6-2 in the UFC.
Northcutt announced on Tuesday at a media event in Los Angeles that he’s set to fight Cosmo Alexandre in a welterweight bout but under ONE rules, it will be a 185 lbs bout. This fight goes down on May 17 in Singapore.
In his latest fight, which was the co-headliner of UFC Boise at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, the rising prospect picked up a win. He was able to secure a TKO win over the always-tough Zak Ottow. This fight didn’t go as originally planned for Northcutt as he had a tough first round. He got floored with a punch early in the fight and absorbed shots from top position. However, he was able to rebound and get his hand raised.
Northcutt bulked up for this fight as it was contested at welterweight. This is not his normal weight class even though he’s fought at 170 pounds a few times. After the fight, he made it known that he would entertain the idea of fighting at middleweight.
On the flip side, Alexandre (7-1) hasn’t competed in MMA since September 2016. He lost his professional debut with Bellator in 2011. He turned that around with winning seven straight.
