He will knock Igor out in round one,” Rizwan told Daily Times. Mehmosh Raza is one of the promising young names in Pakistan’s ever-evolving MMA industry. He has featured in numerous high-profile fights in a short span including his battle against Haroon Durrani at Fighting Alliance 5, which remains to date one of the finest showcases of the martial arts in the country’s history.
