Al Iaquinta pokes fun at Sage Northcutt on Twitter
Al Iaquinta doesn't appear to be a big fan of fellow lightweight Sage Northcutt.
Iaquinta, who sits at 10th in the UFC lightweight rankings, jumped on Twitter on Friday and retweeted this video, saying it reminds him of Northcutt's peppy personality (WARNING: NSFW LANGUAGE BELOW):

Iaquinta then followed it up with this bad boy:

Maybe Iaquinta is trying to lay the groundwork for a future fight with the 19-year-old. Maybe he just doesn't like the guy.
Either way, we don't think Northcutt cares. He's too busy taking photos with Grammy-nominated rappers from his home state of Texas.

Northcutt returns to the Octagon at UFC Fight Night: Johnson vs. Bader on Jan. 30 against Bryan Barberena. Given his back-to-back finishes, a strong showing against Barberena could propel Northcutt into the lightweight top 15, and a fight with Iaquinta wouldn't be too far-fetched.
But even Iaquinta thinks it's unlikely at this point.
@MirkoCrosby relax its a joke.... They would never feed him to me lol
