'Super' Sage Northcutt is looking forward to a challenge when he steps back into the ONE circle against 'Wolverine' Ahmed Mujtaba. The two fighters are getting ready to throw down at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video.
America's Northcutt was very complimentary of his upcoming opponent when he spoke in an interview with Great Day Colorado. Northcutt discussed the threats that Mujtaba poses, saying:
"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."
Ahmed Mujtaba is dangerous in every facet of the game. Overall, he has earned a 10-2 record, with several of his wins coming by way of KO/TKO and many others being earned via submission.
