Sage Northcutt looking absolutely shredded ahead of May return

ONE lightweight MMA star 'Super' Sage Northcutt is looking absolutely shredded and jacked ahead of his comeback fight at ONE Fight Night 10. The May 5 card, which will be ONE's first-ever on-ground American show, will feature the 27-year-old MMA star's return from a four-year lay-off due to injury.

Across from him inside the circle will be Pakistan's Ahmed Mujtaba, who is coming off back-to-back wins in ONE Championship. With less than a month to go before his return to action, Sage Northcutt is looking like he was never away at all.

In a recent photo posted on Northcutt's Instagram page, we saw the American karate specialist looking like an Avenger on his "recovery day":

"Recovery day! My fight is coming up May 5th for @onechampionship Don’t forget to tune in on Amazon prime video!"

Sage Northcutt was last seen in action at ONE: Enter the Dragon back in 2019. It was to be his welcome party to the organization but unfortunately, it ended in devastating fashion. 'Super' was knocked out by Brazilian slugger Cosmo Alexandre, who shattered his orbital bone with one punch.

Northcutt immediately went under the knife to fix his facial fractures and had to go through a long road to recovery. In the four years that 'Super' has been away, a bout with former ONE lightweight titleholder Shinya Aoki was teased but ultimately scrapped. With ample time to recover and rebuild his body and mind, Northcutt is primed and ready to right the wrongs of the past.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Mujtaba has an impressive 9-2 pro record with two straight finishes (1 KO, 1 sub) inside the circle. He will look to score a third straight one and spoil Sage Northcutt's welcome party yet again.

Fans in North America can catch ONE Fight Night 10 in US primetime on May 5, live and for free on Prime Video with an Amazon subscription.
