Enjoy MMA Whipping Boy Sage Northcutt’s Apple-Demolishing Feats Of Strength

Sage Northcutt is:

1. An MMA fighter
2. An impossibly adorable trash talker
3. The personification of a Golden Retriever puppy
4. Really, really strong

The deceptively non-threatening, front-flipping, white-meat babyface of the UFC took time out of his busy tank top shopping schedule to add even further proof that his muscles aren’t just for show.

With the caption “I want to see who can Rip some Apples!” Northcutt demonstrates exactly that, tearing the apple in two and then looking incredibly proud of himself. Using the hashtag #SuperSage, his fans took the challenge laid down by the blonde wunderkind:

Okay, so maybe you don’t have to be super strong to rip through a piece of fruit, but peep these other examples of the lovable doof showing off what he can do:

Here he is flipping bales of hay, because of course there’s video of him flipping bales of hay.

And here we have him effortlessly rolling up a metal frying pan like baby burrito.

Not only can Sage lift really heavy things, he’s also strong enough to bear the weight of being a true American patriot.

Not sold? No problem. We’ll just leave you with this picture of him as a little kid, sporting more abs than I could ever hope to have in my lifetime:
