Pakist­ani MMA fighte­r to take on Indone­sia’s Rahard­ian on Januar­y 20KARACHI: “What makes a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter? Faith and poverty,” explains the 26-year-old Muhammad Imran who will be competing at the co-main event of One Championship on January 20 in Jakarta. The One FC contract, he believes, has given him hope and motivation that he can have a new life and a career as an MMA fighter. Imran is training the younger athletes in Pakido, the first MMA club in Pakistan, while many older karatekas also come to him. Imran further added that his promoter Muhammad Rizwan Ali, who runs Prime Sports management, has supported and guided him greatly.
