Bashir Ahmad Scores Swift Heel Hook Submission Win Over Mahmoud Mohamed

In featherweight action, Bashir Ahmad made quick work of Mahmoud Mohamed at ONE: STATE OF WARRIORS at a sold-out Thuwunna Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar.

The 33-year-old Ahmad (4-3) needed only 83 seconds to secure the fight-ending heel hook. It was his second submission victory in ONE Championship, bringing his record in the promotion to an even 3-3. “Somchai” got back on the winning track after dropping back-to-back fights.

Meanwhile, Mahmoud (3-4-1) was submitted for the second time in 2016. Both losses for the Egyptian Top Team representative came in round one.

Bashir, known as The Godfather of Pakistan MMA, returns home with a ONE Championship victory for the first time since in nearly two years.
