Saher Qasmieh def. Hamad Marhoon Decision (split) · R3 5:00

Fight Overview

Bahrain's Hamad Marhoon, a three-time national MMA champion and 2021 IMMAF World Championship bronze medalist, faces Jordan's Saher Qasmieh (2-0) in a flyweight showcase bout that spotlights two of the MENA region's brightest emerging talents. Marhoon's decorated amateur background and guillotine-choke debut win meet Qasmieh's unbeaten professional record, with both submission victories of his own coming via the same hold.

Keys to Victory

Hamad Marhoon

  1. Deploy his all-around versatility to keep Qasmieh guessing and avoid settling into one-dimensional patterns.
  2. Use his sambo and wrestling base to control the pace and dictate where the fight takes place.
  3. Trust his tactical preparation and stay smart inside the cage rather than forcing early exchanges.

Saher Qasmieh

  1. Replicate the early guillotine-choke pressure that has finished both of his professional opponents.
  2. Use his Wushu Sanda striking foundation to keep the fight standing and build confidence in the early rounds.
  3. Attack every scramble and takedown attempt with aggressive submission entries to keep Marhoon defensive.
