KARACHI: Pakistan’s mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Haider Farman defeated India’s Atif Mohammed Khadim in their strawweight fight on the main card of Brave Combat Federation 9’s preliminary card in Bahrain on Friday.
Despite a flurry of exchanges, the fight went the distance and ended with Haider’s hand being raised as the judges thought he had done enough to merit the win.
Haider was able to secure a takedown in the opening minute and nearly locked the Indian in a rear naked choke, while peppering him with some heavy punches from the back.
Atif did manage to get back on his feet but soon copped a huge head kick from the Fight Fortress dynamo, who was definitely getting the better of his man in the opening exchanges.
