VIDEO: Northcutt stays perfect after choking out Pfister at UFC Fight Night 80
The Sage Northcutt hype train kept a rollin' on Thursday night, though it's rollin' just a wee bit slower.
The impossibly happy, Jacked-up Zack Morris experienced his first taste of adversity in the early going, as Cody Pfister dragged Northcutt to the mat and tried to grind him down with heavy top control, forearms, and elbows.
After being gifted a standup he likely didn't deserve, Northcutt took full advantage, immediately landing a takedown of his own, completely turning the tide heading into the second stanza.
From there, it was all "Super Sage," as he worked for the takedown in the opening moments of the middle frame, and snatched a fight-ending guillotine choke in the ensuing scramble.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Northcutt finish without a ridiculous, Matrix entering celebration.
