At ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, Sage Northcutt will make his long-anticipated return to the circle.
Northcutt has not had things go his way in recent years following his ONE Championship debut. After losing his first contest under the ONE banner, ‘Super’ Sage was forced to take time away from the sport due to his injuries that he suffered.
After coming into the promotion with a lot of hype around him, Northcutt went through a long process of surgery and recovery with his return being pushed back even further by a bout with COVID-19.
Despite being away for such a long time, Sage Northcutt is still the incredibly positive fighter that people remember and he is looking forward to coming back and making up for lost time.

In an interview with ONE Championship, he spoke about his return against Ahmed Mujtaba and how he doesn’t believe the gap in competition will define his career going forward:
“As of right now, [it has been] well over three and a half years. By the time I have this fight, it will be four years in May, so that was a long time ago. But what I can say is I’m only 26-years old right now, and came into this sport of mixed martial arts very young. Being 26-years old right now, I’m still extremely young so I’m looking forward to a long and successful career.”
Northcutt takes on Mujtaba at ONE Fight Night 10 with the entire card set to be broadcast live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.
Sage Northcutt shares his excitement for the stacked ONE Fight Night 10 card
ONE Fight Night 10 on May 5 features the long-anticipated return of ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt.
Not only will Northcutt get the opportunity to finally showcase what he is capable of inside the circle, he will get to compete in front of his home fans as the promotion makes its debut in the United States.
For this historic night for ONE Championship, the promotion is bringing a stacked card with some of their biggest and best names set to compete at the 1stBank Center in Colorado.
With the likes of ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson, flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Stamp Fairtex, and Roberto Soldic all set to compete on the same night, it’s no surprise that the event has already been announced as a sell-out.
Excited not just for his return to competition but for the chance to compete alongside the other athletes on the card, Sage Northcutt posted this message on Twitter:
Whilst he could be forgiven for taking some time to settle back into things after four years away from the sport, Sage is jumping right back in at the deep end.
Welcoming him back to the circle will be Pakistan’s Ahmed Mujtaba who is coming off of back-to-back wins in the first round.
ONE Fight Night 10 is live and free via Prime Video for North American viewers.
