Ahmed Mujhtaba requested his supporters and fans to show their support for him during the fight in One Championship.
“Wolverine” thinks very highly of Ma Jia Wen “He is a good young talent”. “He has vast experience in the ONE cage. He is a decent, well-formed young man and I respect him regardless of the match. We are both martial arts rivals but not enemies.”
“I have always been thankful to ONE Championship and Mr Chatri Sityodtong for his support in my career. Mr Chatri is the founding father of Asian MMA and he has provided us with a great platform to compete at” Ahmed concluded.
Growing up as the child in Quetta, Mujtaba was always an athletic kid and he wanted to become a doctor but in his later teens, he stepped inside in 2012. He made his professional MMA debut in 2013 and won 5 successive fights even claimed UGB MMA Featherweight Title in early 2016.
