Ahmed Mujtaba expects ‘hungry’ Sage Northcutt

Pakistani fighter Ahmed Mujtaba is expecting a “hungry” Sage Northcutt when they collide at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video on May 5 in Colorado, U.S.A.

'Wolverine' sees a highly motivated opponent who is seeking to make up for lost time after being away from competition for a considerable amount of time due to various medical issues as well as how his last fight went down.

Sage Northcutt will be back after nearly four years since being knocked out in his lone fight so far in ONE Championship by Brazilian Cosmo Alexandre. The loss also saw him sustain multiple facial fractures that required surgery and a long recovery period.

Apart from his injury, Nortchutt also had a bout with COVID-19 that saw him prolong his absence from the Circle.

Given where the American fighter is coming from, Ahmed Mujtaba is expecting nothing less than an all-out effort from 'Super' in their lightweight showdown at ONE Fight Night 10, the promotion’s first-ever live on-ground event in the United States.

He shared in an interview with ONE Championship:

“He’s going to be hungry because last time he got knocked out.”

Ahmed Mujtaba is also not short in motivation, looking to extend his winning roll which currently stands at two straight and firm up his standing in the division. Since making his promotional debut in 2016, he has racked up four wins with a 50% finish rate.

ONE Fight Night 10 will be held at the 1stBank Center in Colorado and will be aired live and for free to all North American fans with an active Prime Video subscription.

Sage Northcutt impressed by Ahmed Mujtaba’s fighting skills

'Super' Sage Northcutt is expecting a barnburner of a match against Pakistan’s Ahmed Mujtaba in their featured battle at ONE Championship’s first-ever live United States show in May.

The two fighters mix it up at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video on May 5 in Colorado. It is part of the promotion’s fifth Amazon show of the year, which will be aired live and for free to all North American fans with an active Prime Video subscription.

Team Alpha Male affiliate Northcutt has reviewed the fights of noted finisher Ahmed Mujtaba and has been impressed with the fighting skills of 'Wolverine'.

‘Super’ shared to Great Day Colorado in an interview:

"So my opponent, watching his last two fights, he’s talented. One of his fights he had a solid knockout, the last fight he just had he had a very unique submission, a triangle on his opponent who’s a black belt in jiu-jitsu, so that’s something definitely to watch out for."

The most recent of Ahmed Mujtaba’s victories came last November over Brazilian Abraao Amorim by way of a first-round submission.

Sage Northcutt, for his part, is looking to make a winning return to competition after being on the sidelines for nearly four years due to various medical issues. He suffered multiple facial fractures in his ONE debut in May 2019 which required surgery and extensive recovery time after. In 2021, he was angling to make a return but was diagnosed with COVID-19.
