Sage Northcutt is once again showing off his superhuman strength on social media, this time against a giant tire.
In what appears to be a giant, dirt parking lot somewhere in America, 'Super' Sage appears to have found a monster truck tire that needed to be flipped. Surrounded by pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs, he was able to get the job done in just a few seconds.

Judging by the environment, it’s likely Sage Northcutt was headed to a truck rally, a rodeo, or a country music concert when he found the tire.
Northcutt will attempt to take Pakistani lightweight Ahmed Mujtaba for a ride, just like this tire, on May 5th when the two prospects collide in the ONE Circle. While both fighters are around the same age and sport similar MMA records, the narrative surrounding both fighters couldn’t be more different.
For Northcutt, he’s just looking to get a win under his belt after being absent from competition for four years. Once dubbed one of MMA’s top prospects, he lost much of that hype from a knockout loss to Cosmo Alexandre in his debut for ONE Championship. He’s now entering his prime and is looking to refresh his career with a win over a fellow prospect.
For Mujtaba, a fight with Sage Northcutt would be the biggest of his career. The Pakistani has won two straight, both by first-round finishes. He’s 4-2 overall in ONE Championship and is hoping to enter the upper levels of the lightweight division with a win over Northcutt in his home country.
“It’s like a fight every day”- Sage Northcutt getting complete MMA training at Team Alpha Male ahead of MMA return
To give him the best possible chance of success in his MMA return, Sage Northcutt has aligned himself with one of the sport’s top gyms in Sacramento’s Team Alpha Male.
Overseen by WEC and UFC veteran Urijah Faber, the gym has multiple fighters competing at the elite level. Northcutt spoke to ONE Championship about the kind of environment at Team Alpha Male, saying:
"All I can say is I’m surrounded with an incredible team at Team Alpha Male, some of the best fighters around. It’s great in all aspects – great wrestlers, great grapplers, great strikers, along with great coaches. I’m stepping into the gym every single day. It’s like a fight every day."
Team Alpha Male is the perfect place for Northcutt to call home, as many other highly-athletic wrestler types in the lighter weight class also train there. He will be beginning his training camp for ONE Fight Night 10 soon, and he’s got all the right people around him to get the win.
