Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday congratulated Shahzaib Rind, the Pakistani mixed martial arts player from Balochistan, who won the Karate Combat Championship (KC-49) held in Singapore. “You have brought fame to Pakistan through your sport and expertise. The whole nation feels proud of you,” the prime minister said, according to a PM Office press release. In the final contest held in Singapore, Shahzaib defeated Brazil’s Bruno Roberto De Assis. Commenting on his win, Rind wrote on his X timeline, “Alhamdulillah, history has been made! This is the first time Pakistan has become a world champion in MMA. This was a very tough fight at the start, but I had this hope, as well as all your prayers.”
