‘I Can Beat Anyone’ – Ubaid Hussain Secures Main Roster Spot And Plots Path To The World Title

The undefeated British-Pakistani phenom secured a US$100,000 contract and is eyeing flyweight Muay Thai gold.

British-Pakistani Muay Thai fighter Ubaid "Bad" Hussain secured a coveted main roster spot and a lucrative US$100,000 contract after an impressive victory at The Inner Circle 28 event. The 20-year-old faced off against Thai opponent Isannuea Sor Sasiwat in Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, displaying exceptional skill and control throughout the fight.

Hussain's sharp footwork and varied attack proved too much for his opponent, who succumbed to a body shot in the first round and had difficulty recovering in the subsequent bouts. The unanimous decision win catapulted Hussain to a perfect 17-0 record, with 8 wins in ONE Championship. The contract he earned marked a significant milestone in his career, a victory he never anticipated but was undoubtedly grateful for.

Despite his recent success, Hussain remains focused on the future, determined to train harder and strengthen his power to continue his upward trajectory in the already competitive flyweight Muay Thai division.
