Asian MMA Championship 2025 – Muhammad Saqib Wins Silver in U18 Category
Karachi: August 30, 2025 ; Team Pakistan delivered an outstanding performance at the AMMA Asian Mixed Martial Arts Championship 2025 in Manama, Bahrain, where athletes showcased remarkable skill, determination, and sportsmanship on one of Asia’s biggest martial arts stages.
On the final day of the championship, Pakistan’s Muhammad Saqib secured a Silver Medal in the Men’s U18 – 55kg category, once again bringing pride and recognition to Pakistan in Asian martial arts.
This achievement is especially significant as Saqib had already made headlines last year by becoming the World Champion 2024 in the same category. His transition from the world stage to the Asian level demanded greater hard work, discipline, and focus — and his Silver Medal reflects his dedication, growth, and rising stature in international MMA.
Other Notable Performances ;
• Muhammad Umar – Silver Medal (Men’s U16 – 60kg Category)
• Amin Ullah – Bronze Medal (Men’s U18 – 60kg Category)
In total, Team Pakistan secured 3 medals: 2 Silver and 1 Bronze, competing against over 150 athletes from 19 countries.

He further added:
“This championship marks a defining moment in the rise of MMA in Pakistan. The courage, dedication, and talent of our youth are truly commendable. For the past five years, Pakistan has consistently held a strong international ranking, and we remain committed to taking this sport to even greater heights.”

Would you like me to also prepare a shorter, punchy social media version of this in English (like a highlight announcement with medals + pictures) for quick public engagement?
