Earlier today (Sept. 21, 2017), longtime welterweight contender Matt Brown announced on social media that he will retire after his upcoming fight with Diego Sanchez, which will take place at UFC Fight Night 120 on Nov. 11, 2017 at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Virginia.

“The Immortal”, known for his warrior mentality and viciousness inside of the cage, began his UFC career after competing on season seven of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) in 2008. Since then, Brown has entered the Octagon 23 times, piling up a 13-10 UFC record and a 20-16 overall professional record.

Brown hit his peak between 2012 and 2014 when he won seven consecutive bouts, with six of those victories coming by way of stoppage. He holds notable victories over former two-time title challenger Stephen Thompson and veteran Mike Swick, and he’s known for putting on exciting fights.

In recent memory, the 36-year-old has hit a rough patch, losing five of his last six bouts. He’s also lost his last three bouts by way of stoppage against the likes of Demian Maia, Jake Ellenberger and Donald Cerrone.

UFC Fight Night 120 is set to be headlined by an intriguing lightweight matchup between Dustin Poirier and former champion Anthony Pettis.

The ever-elusive Sage Northcutt has a fight scheduled in the books after nearly a year on the sidelines. Again.

Northcutt, who hasn’t fought since a submission loss to Mickey Gall in December 2016, is expected to take on Michel Quinones at UFC Fight Night 120 in November, as reported by ESPN.

The young prospect’s MMA career has been repeatedly sidetracked with illness and injury due to ailments ranging from staff infection to strep throat. Northcutt eventually underwent a tonsillectomy, as his tonsils were the source of his repeated bouts of strep throat.

He’s also lost two of his last three bouts by submission, putting an abrupt halt to his meteoric rise as one of the UFC’s most promoted ‘stars’ even though he had no bouts against true top competition on his record.

Quinones (8-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) was riding a five-fight winning streak before losing his UFC debut by TKO to Jared Gordon in June.

The bout will be contested at 155 pounds, as Northcutt’s two UFC losses have occurred at welterweight. The Texas native has bounced between the two weight classes throughout his UFC tenure, but appears to be settling in for a run at lightweight.

This will be “Super” Sage Northcutt’s first fight in 2017 after a UFC 214 bout with John Makdessi fell through.

UFC Fight Night 120 will take place on November 11th in Norfolk, Virginia And will be headlined by a lightweight tilt between former divisional champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis and exciting contender Dustin Poirier.

Also added to the card was a bantamweight bout between Raphael Assuncao and Matthew Lopez.
