Regardless of what sport it is, India Vs. Pakistan is always a huge deal and turned out to be a massive one today when Pakistan’s Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) player Uloomi Kareem won World Series of Fighting Global Championship held in Manila Philippines. The final match was between Kareem and India’s Yadwinder Singh.

Kareem’s victory turns out to be special and memorable as Singh had a competitive edge of being two inches taller than our champion Kareem. Kareem promptly and viciously ended any chance or advantage Singh had over him as soon as the fight started.

In an interview he gave to Express Tribune before the fight, Kareem said, “My strength lies in striking, whereas Yadwinder is a traditional wrestler who transitioned into the MMA. This won’t be just a India-Pakistan battle, but also a battle of styles.”
