One of the most recognisable faces in MMA, Super Sage Northcutt is making his return to ONE.
\nThe American star will face Pakistan\u2019s Ahmed Mujtaba in a lightweight bout at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III\u00a0
\nWe have not seen Northcutt in action since January 2019, due to the pandemic combined with a number of injury issues he has been working through.
\nBut on May 5 he is back – and his return will coincide with another huge moment as ONE makes its on-ground debut in the USA – hosting the event from Colorado.
\nNorthcutt is understandably excited about the prospect. \u201cOh man, I\u2019ll tell you what, it feels so good to be back. It\u2019s been a while. I\u2019ve been itching to get back,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cNot only that, getting the fight in the United States, the first U.S. card for ONE Championship, I couldn\u2019t be more excited for that.
\n\u201cYou have an incredible fighter, Demetrious Johnson, headlining the card, so the card\u2019s gonna be super exciting, especially for the first card in the U.S. I\u2019m so excited.\u201d
\nStill just 26-years-old he has a lifetime ahead of him in MMA terms and is ready to build on his 11-3 overall record.
\n\u201cBeing 26 years old right now, I\u2019m still extremely young, so I\u2019m looking forward to a long and successful career. I feel like I\u2019m just getting started, and I\u2019m still so young that I can have a lot of fights.
\n\u201cA lot of people will be thinking, \u2018Hey, Sage might have some ring rust.\u2019 It\u2019s been three-and-a-half years. It\u2019s a little bit of time. But I\u2019ve been training, I\u2019ve been staying sharp.
\n\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve improved in a lot of different areas. I\u2019m looking forward to showing it.\u201d
\nOpponent Ahmed Mujtaba will be no pushover. With a 9-2 overall record he has recorded two impressive stoppage wins in his last two outings and will be looking to make a statement with a high profile win on May 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
