At ONE Fight Night 10, Sage Northcutt makes his long anticipated return to competition after a four year break.
After his debut in ONE Championship ended in just 30 seconds, Sage was forced to take a lengthy hiatus from the spotlight due to injuries that required surgery.
A bout with COVID-19 further prolonged his hiatus but that comes to an end on May 5 when he faces Ahmed Mujtaba at the sold out 1stBank Center in Colorado.
Looking to deliver on the hype that his signing produced back in 2019, Sage has remained focused on his goals and ambitions throughout an inactive period and now that he is back, he has the chance to start building towards them inside the Circle.
