Sage Northcutt last fought in May 2019. Amid much excitement, riding a three-fight UFC win streak, that is when Northcutt made his debut for ONE Championship—and was promptly knocked out in 29 seconds by Cosmo Alexandre.
“That didn’t go the way I wanted,” says Northcutt. “Losing has definitely given me some extra drive.”
Northcutt (11-3) has a chance to return to the win column in May at ONE Fight Night 10, where he will fight Ahmed Mujtaba in a lightweight bout. It marks Northcutt’s first fight in that weight class since 2018, when he defeated Thibault Gouti.
