Just a week before his third fight in the promotion, rising UFC lightweight star Sage Northcutt has a new opponent – and a chance to fight in a new division. With Andrew Holbrook (11-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) out with an injury, Northcutt (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) now will face Bryan Barberena (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a welterweight bout to open up the main card at UFC on FOX 18. UFC officials today announced the change. UFC on FOX 18 takes place Jan. 30 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
