PESHAWAR - Pakistan won one gold, silver and a bronze medal in the debutant Asian Mixed Martial Arts Championship 2021 held in Kyrgyzstan.
Shahzaib Khan won gold medal for Pakistan while Liaqat Ali secured silver and Allah Gul Afridi bagged bronze medal in Asian Championship to make the country proud. It was for the first time when Pakistan attended the Asian Championship. Although the team was supposed to attend in full strength, however, lack of funds compelled the national federation to send a six-member squad as a token gesture.
Pakistani players made the mark and attained three medals – a gold, silver and bronze medal respectively. Pakistan Mixed Martial Arts Federation (PMMAF) President Zulfiqar Ali has congratulated the players for making the nation proud in the Asian Championship. Zulfiqar said: “The PMMAF will continue its path to success and will try hard to ensure maximum participation in all events in future. “The World MMA Championship 2021 is expected to be held in December this year. The MMA community in Pakistan has also extended their warm greetings on this achievement of the players,” he added.
It is relevant to mention here that the Asian Mixed Martial Arts Championship started in Kyrgyzstan from August 24 and concluded on August 28. The mixed martial arts athletes selected from different cities of Pakistan including Allah Gul Afridi from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Liaquat Ali from Balochistan, Asim Khan, Shayan Amin and Shahazeb Khan from Sindh. Shariq Ali was manager-cum-coach of the squad.
