Sage Northcutt, billed as the rising star of the UFC, has spoken out about accusations of steroid abuse.

And in his usual confident way, the 19-year-old has called the allegations - from upcoming opponent Cody Pfister - "a compliment". "I'm very thankful they're saying stuff like that. It's very nice of them," Northcutt said. "But I know how hard I've trained since I was a little kid. I've been dieting for 15 years." https://www.instagram.com/p/-ASANQqGn0/?taken-by=supersagenorthcutt Northcutt goes into the fight against Pfister at UFC Fight Night 80 off the back of an eye-catching UFC debut, in which he took just 57 seconds to record a TKO against Francisco Trevino. The youngster has been training hard, and recently shared a video of some of his frankly ridiculous regime.
