Anita Karim, an MMA fighter from Pakistan, achieved a remarkable triumph for her nation by defeating her Thai opponent in the Legend Fighting Championship on Sunday.
With her Thai opponent caught in a rear naked choke (RNC), the 52-kilogram competitor, Karim, submitted her and won the bout in the second round. A tribute to her tenacity, hard work, and unwavering devotion to the sport, Karim is a mixed martial arts (MMA) star hailing from Hunza. This victory is all the more noteworthy considering Pakistan’s lack of a robust grassroots MMA support system, despite the country’s enormous talent pool.
