Palestinian you should know: Motaz Askar wins professional mma debut
Motaz Askar has now won eight mixed martial arts (mma) fights in a row, including his professional debut last month. Askar, who defeated Nick Friedrich by TKO in his most recent bout, is looking to take the fight game by storm. He plans to do this while representing Palestine in a positive way.
Headed into his professional debut with Hoosier Fight Club, he was ranked No. 1 amateur fighter in the Chicagoland area in his weight class.
“What I like about being a Palestinian fighter is a lot of people in the fight game represent their country, and it means a lot to me to be able to represent my country,” Askar told Palestine in America.
