Baz Mohammad Mubariz is a Kabul (Afghanistan) based fighter, who trains with Phuket Top Team for fight camps as he develops his Pro MMA career.
" In 2008 I watched some MMA events and enjoyed it so much. It was very interesting and I saw that I could have ability in this sport because of my good physique and strength, as well my courage, but at that time MMA did not exist in Afghanistan. "
"I don't really like talking about politics; Im a sportsman. I don't want to interfere in politics. But i can tell you one thing.... Afghans want peace and not war."
It's inspiring to see a fighter come out of a region with so many very serious political and social dilemmas (not to mention the 30+ year war, deaths, bombings and kidnappings).
Check out the documentary video above for a lot more background on this kid's journey.
Baz is 4-2 as a professional with his last win coming after a very solid camp at Phuket Top Team.
Looking forward to his next fight coming up in FMD (Bangkok).
