After winning ONE Fight Night 10, Sage Northcutt was understandably on cloud nine.
Not only did he pick up an impressive first round win against Ahmed Mojtaba in front of a sold out First Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado for the USA’s debut in the ONE Championship, there was a lot on the line going into this fight.
While he was excited to compete in front of the American fans, ‘Super’ Sage was just happy to be back in competition. After the loss he suffered in his ONE Championship debut, Northcutt fought through four incredibly difficult years that could have spelled the end of his career as a competitor.
Injuries, surgery and COVID-19 continued to delay his eventual comeback, forcing Sage Northcutt to sit on the sidelines and do what he could to stay fit and keep his mind sharp.
He eventually came back in May this year with plenty of questions to answer and points to prove, he did just that with his performance against Mojtaba. He showed new aspects of his game that he had been working on during his inactive period.
In an interview with Spinnin’ Backfist, Sage Northcutt talks about what it feels like to come back and get the win he’s been dreaming of for so long:
“My adrenaline was literally pumping through the fight and then all night too. I went back to the hotel room, and I was like ‘Let me sleep for a bit, I got an early flight.’ But then I literally stayed up all night. I couldn’t sleep.”
