Sage Northcutt impressed by Ahmed Mujtaba's skills, but says he's ready to make return this May

Sage Northcutt will take on Pakistan's Ahmed Mujtaba in his return to action. The American revealed that he's impressed by Mujtaba's skills and knows what to watch out for, telling the promotion:

"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.
"But, you know I’m training super hard. Making sure I’m staying sharp, making sure I’m ready for May 5."

Mujtaba is riding a two-fight winning streak leading up to his matchup with Northcutt. He has scored back-to-back opening round finishes over Rahul Raju and Abraao Amorim after beginning his ONE tenure at just 2-2.

Meanwhile, Northcutt has only competed inside the Circle once, losing by knockout to Cosmo Alexandre. Before that, he amassed an 11-2 record competing in various promotions in North America.
