Kashmir’s rising mixed martial arts (MMA) star Owais Yaqoob delivered another commanding performance on the international stage, defeating Bulgaria’s previously unbeaten Delyan Georgiev by first-round technical knockout (TKO) at BRAVE CF 107 in Bulgaria on Saturday.
The emphatic victory marks another major milestone in Yaqoob’s rapidly progressing professional career. With the win on August 1, the Pulwama fighter improved his professional MMA record to 6-1 while extending his impressive winning streak.
Competing in one of the sport’s premier international promotions, Yaqoob took control of the contest from the opening bell, overwhelming Georgiev with relentless pressure before the referee stepped in to stop the bout following a barrage of unanswered strikes in the first round.
The victory further cements Yaqoob’s growing reputation on the global MMA circuit and highlights his emergence as one of India’s most promising mixed martial artists.
Hailing from Pulwama district in south Kashmir, Yaqoob has steadily climbed the professional ranks through a series of dominant performances in recent years. Training at the renowned American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), he has consistently impressed in leading MMA promotions with his aggressive fighting style and technical ability.
His latest triumph at BRAVE CF 107 is expected to enhance his standing in the lightweight division and strengthen his credentials as one of India’s brightest prospects in mixed martial arts.
