Ahmed Mujtaba hoping to put Pakistan back on the MMA map
The 30-year-old is determined to realize success under ONE Championship, not only for himself, but for the entire MMA scene in Pakistan. He told the promotion:
“Once again, I’m representing my country – this time, in the United States, the land of opportunity. So, I mean there’s a lot of people from Pakistan in the U.S. They are waiting for me to represent my country, and there is a lot of Pakistanis who will be at the event, who are going to be cheering for me. To the Pakistan fans, I just want to say support me on fifth of May. Say your Dua [prayers] for me. I just want to say that everything is possible, nothing is impossible.”
His upcoming opponent is a former UFC competitor who has a lot of starpower behind him. 'Super' Sage Northcutt collected six wins in his previous promotion, with finishes over Francisco Treviño, Cody Pfister, and Zak Ottow.
The American made his ONE debut at middleweight back in 2019, but lost to Cosmo Alexandre via first-round knockout. Both Northcutt and Mujtaba are looking for a massive victory at ONE Fight Night 10.
Make sure to tune in to ONE Fight Night 10 on May 5 to watch Ahmed Mujtaba look to spoil the return of Sage Northcutt in a lightweight battle live from 1stBank Center in Colorado.
All of the action will be broadcast live and for free to Amazon Prime subscribers across North America.
