Sage Northcutt will make his ONE Championship debut on May 17th. The UFC veteran has signed up to face Cosmo Alexandre at the Singapore Indoor Stadium according to reliable reports this morning.
Northcutt (11-2) was heavily promoted by the UFC but decided to sign for ONE Championship after his contract expired. The 22 year old is currently on a media tour in the U.S. alongside Eddie Alvarez, Demetrious Johnson, Rich Franklin and Miesha Tate.
Alexandre (7-1) is best known as a Muay Thai fighter but is riding a seven fight win streak dating all the way back to 2011. He has fought for American promotions Bellator and Legacy and has also had several fights in the ONE Super Series.
Their welterweight fight will be on the ONE: ‘Rise of Warriors’ card which is the second show booked at the Singapore Indoor Stadium this year. The most recent was last Friday and saw Stamp Fairtex win the atomweight Muay Thai title.
