American star Sage Northcutt is gearing up for his much-anticipated return this May. He recently showed off his athleticism, but Nieky Holzken isn't impressed.

'Super' Sage hasn't competed in nearly four years, but he's scheduled to grace the Circle once again at the historic ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video event.

The Texas native has always been known to be an uberly-athletic fighter, and he reminded fans of that in a recent Instagram video.

Dutch kickboxer and ONE competitor Nieky Holzken commented on the post—and it's clear that he isn't impressed. He commented:

"Looks 🔥 unfortunately you dont win fights with it, only oscars."

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.

Be sure to tune in to ONE Fight Night 10 on May 5 to watch Sage Northcutt make his long-awaited return to action against Pakistan's Ahmed Mujtaba, live from the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado.

All of the action will be broadcast live and for free to Prime subscribers in North America. The event will serve as ONE's first-ever event to take place in the United States.
