News Sage Northcutt has gone off on ONE Championship on social media regarding his withdrawal from ONE 165 in Tokyo.

Defending One is not a hill I'm going to die on because it would be an absolute slaughter, but the Barnett tweet does bring up some interesting questions.

If you take it at face value, there was no issue with the cornermen not having work visas and there never was any threat of jail time. Did someone just put that in Northcutt's ear and he blew up and didn't listen when people tried to reason with him?

Trusting Josh Barnett is asking a lot

Sage is a coward. Pulled out an hour before for a corner man? That's a first. Aoki was right he's not a fighter and shouldn't be in combat sports

STFU Chatri!

Fair. It's been like 15 years since I last thought about Barnett so really had no clue how reliable a statement that was. Given it does seem to be a new change, there probably is truth to what he said.

Some shady shit going on here but Sage should have double checked with the proper authorities to make sure his corners were good to go without visa's. Better to be safe than sorry.
