MMA fighter Ahmed Mujtaba gets Pakistan the win over India in ONE Championship
Pakistan’s MMA star Ahmed Mujtaba ala “Wolverine” made his home country and fellows immensely proud by knocking out his Indian opponent Rahul Raju in the opening round of the fight in Singapore.
The Pakistani star produced an unforgettable lightweight debut at ONE Championship’s One: Unbreakable III in Singapore on February 5.
Towards the end of the fight that lasted hardly a minute, Pakistan’s MMA champion beat the Indian fighter to the punch. “Wolverine” landed a picture-perfect overhand right to the chin that apparently turned off Raju’s lights while he was still on the feet. Raju immediately fell to the canvas and even though Mujtaba followed up with another strike, the referee intervened and stopped the contest after 56 seconds of the first round
The victory gave Mujtaba his third win on the global stage and elevating his overall record to 10-2. It was Mujtaba’s first fight in almost three years.
Mujtaba dedicated his victory to the people of Kashmir as the country marked Kashmir Solidarity Day on February 5 and also to fellow Pakistanis and Pakistan Army.
