Bryan Barberena NEWARK, N.J. – With some elbows and a squeeze from half-guard, short-notice replacement Bryan Barbarena wiped the smile off Sage Northcutt ’s face. Barbarena (11-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) capitalized in the second round after Northcutt (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) got a little too flashy for his own good, pounding on the 19-year-old phenom before locking in an arm-triangle that brought a quick tap. The welterweight bout opened today’s UFC on FOX 18 main card at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. It aired on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. Barbarena wasn’t even fully in the classic position to get the submission, but he sent the air wheezing out of Northcutt’s hype bubble at the 3:06 mark of the second round
