Sage Northcutt didn’t seem to be a fan of Thibault Gouti holding on to keep him stifled on the canvas or against the fence, but he pulled out a win regardless. Northcutt (10-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) took a unanimous decision from Gouti (12-4 MMA, 1-4 UFC) thanks to his advantage in the striking department. When Gouti landed takedowns, he did very little with the position but hold on to keep Northcutt’s offense stifled, and that wasn’t enough to impress the judges. Northcutt took the win with a trio of 29-28 scores. The welterweight bout opened up the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 126 event at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.
