Last month, Pakistan’s First Female MMA fighter Anita Karim scored an important decision victory at ONE: Warrior Series’ February episode on Thursday.
The Islamabad-based fighter who also hails from Hunza Valley and trains out of Fight Fortress, scored her first MMA win after beating Indonesia’s Gita Suharsono via unanimous decision in Singapore.
Karim is 1-1 in pro-MMA
Though her opponent had a good reach advantage, Anita’s south-paw striking caused problems for the Indonesian fighter.
The Pakistan fighter inflicted decisive damage on her Indonesian counterpart on counterattacks and was declared victorious on score cards of all three judges.
