KARACHI: Pakistan's unbeaten Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) star Ahmed Mujtaba improved his career record to 8-0 with a unanimous decision victory over Singapore's Benedict Ang at ONE Championship — Asia’s biggest MMA promotion — at Singapore Indoor Stadium on Friday.

Like the seven opponents before him, Ang was no match for the Quetta-born's deft combination of pace and power.

The 23-year-old Mujtaba was clearly the busier and more aggressive of the two fighters over three rounds, leaving the judges with no choice but to give a decision in his favour.

Down below is a glimpse of Mujtaba in action against Ang:
