Sage Northcutt may be the darling of the UFC world right now, but not everybody is buying the hype.

Fellow lightweight fighter Al Iaquinta doesn’t seem too pleased with all the attention Northcutt is getting so early in his career.

The American launched into a bizarre – but hilarious – attack on Northcutt on Twitter, mocking the 19-year-old’s clean-cut look and mannerisms.

Iaquinta linked to a video of a young, blonde-haired boy who carries more than a passing resemblance to Northcutt….

The 28-year-old then quickly followed it up with a post in a similar vein…

While there’s no word yet on a match-up between the two, we can confidently say we’d love to see it now.
