With rising tensions between India and Pakistan unfolding in stadiums and on screens, one sport is demonstrating that a new front has emerged beyond the borders: Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). However, for Pakistan’s unbeaten star Rizwan Ali, who is scheduled to fight against India’s Rana Rudra Singh in Dubai on October 23rd at The Agenda Arena, the story is changing.

There’s no genuine competition between Pakistan and India in MMA,” Rizwan states. “In cricket, we keep losing, but in MMA, I always come out on top. I’ve beaten every Indian opponent. How can there be a rivalry if they aren’t able to match up?

This courageous declaration precedes what is being called a confrontation more significant than the Super Bowl, a battle with high stakes, political implications, and increasing global attention.

Billed under the ACA (Absolute Championship Akhmat) brand, the top Russian MMA organization supported by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, this event is set to deliver excitement, structure, and supremacy.

Unbeaten Rizwan Ali (10-0) has emerged as Pakistan’s most formidable competitor, recognized for his exceptional technique, relentless endurance, and powerful knockouts. His opponent, Rana Rudra Singh, previously an aspiring UFC fighter from India, is eager to establish equilibrium in a rivalry that, according to Rizwan, is non-existent.

Boasting more than 1.7 billion possible viewers, the clash between Rizwan and Rudra is being promoted as the most significant MMA event in South Asian history. However, beneath the excitement lies a more profound reality: Pakistan has consistently prevailed in recent Indo-Pak MMA encounters, with Rizwan securing three decisive victories.

Although he is dominant, Rizwan stays concentrated and humble: “My preparation for this match is going very well. Rudra is a strong opponent, but I aim to end it quickly,” Rizwan mentioned. “I never underestimate any competitor, but I believe in my training and strategy. I will do whatever it takes to surpass and outwit him in the ring.”

This clash might serve as Rizwan’s stepping stone towards the UFC, with senior UFC representatives anticipated to be present at the Dubai event. Rizwan, nevertheless, approaches every bout with equal dedication: “Whether it’s UFC or ACA, a fight is a fight. It all comes down to your physical condition, mental strength, and preparation. I’m prepared for the UFC.”

Rizwan attributes his success not only to his dedication but also to his mentor and manager, Omar Ahmed, who is the President of the Pakistan MMA Federation and the founder of Brave Gym. ‘Meeting Omar Ahmed was a pivotal moment in my life,’ Rizwan says emotionally. ‘He trained me, coached me, supported me, and provided me with global opportunities. Thanks to him, I am now undefeated with a record of 10-0.’

Omar Ahmed has a clear objective: to have a Pakistani athlete compete in the UFC and redefine Pakistan’s image in the world of sports. “We are not just creating fighters; we are fostering a movement,” Omar states. “Pakistan’s MMA community is no longer hidden. It’s nationwide. It’s genuine. And Rizwan is at the forefront of this change.”

Every successful athlete has a solid foundation of support, and for Rizwan, this involves his official partner, ACTIVIT, along with its CEO, Rd. Rizwan Aftab Ahmed. “He’s like an older brother to me,” Rizwan mentioned. “His assistance with money, well-being, and diet has been incredible. After Omar Ahmed, he’s been the main factor in my winning run.”

For Rizwan, MMA goes beyond being just a sport. It is a vocation, a purpose, and a statement. ‘MMA helps you become stronger both physically and mentally. It’s greater than cricket. I hope my path motivates young fighters in Pakistan to rise up, work diligently, and aspire to the UFC.’
