Pakistans MMA fighter Karim defeats Indias Yadwinder

Pakistan's Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Uloomi Karim Shaheen beat India's Yadwinder Singh on Saturday in a World Series of Fighting Global Championship bout at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines.
25-year-old Uloomi, who is from Gilgit-Baltistan, beat the Indian fighter through an unanimous decision. 
He dominated the bout from start to finish to earn a unanimous 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 win  and improved his career MMA record to 6-3.
"I dedicate this win to the people of Kashmir," Karim told The Express Tribune.
"I have nothing but respect for Yadwinder, and as both our camps agreed, sports and politics don't match. Any tension there is between our countries should stay at the border and not be extended to regular folks' lives," he said after the fight.
