Abdul Azim Badakhshi – Igniting MMA in Two Countries
Off the walls of the Siri Fort, the coordinated chants of “LION” filled the hall as round one began. Bollywood stars Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani– who boast a combined 84 million Instagram followers- sat cageside in support of their guy. “The Afghan Lion”, Abdul Azim Badakhshi, did not disappoint the ravenous fans in attendance.
As MMA grows, it begins cropping up in unexpected places. Iconic heroes emerge from markets that never before produced an athlete wielding 4oz gloves. Judging by the event that Matrix Fight Night held in New Delhi on April 1st, onlookers might surmise that MMA is about to boil over into the whole country of India.
