In a heated showdown at the International Fighting Tournament (IFT) Championship, Iran’s rising star Kourosh Rajabi delivered a statement victory by dismantling Pakistan’s Bilal Hussain, a fighter whose pre-match bravado was silenced inside the cage.
The buildup to the clash was filled with tension as Bilal Hussain’s overconfident remarks and dismissive attitude toward Rajabi made headlines. Many fans labeled him arrogant for underestimating his Iranian opponent. However, once the fight began, Rajabi’s composure and skill did all the talking.
From the opening bell, Rajabi asserted his dominance. His footwork and sharp striking neutralized Hussain’s attempts to control the pace. The Pakistani fighter, known for his aggressive style, was caught off guard by Rajabi’s calculated counters and unrelenting pressure. Within minutes, Rajabi showcased superior technique—landing clean combinations that rocked Hussain and forced him onto the defensive.
The second round proved decisive. Rajabi delivered a thunderous strike that left Hussain staggering, before finishing him off with a flurry of punches that brought the referee’s intervention. The arena erupted as Rajabi celebrated his emphatic victory, while Hussain’s earlier arrogance stood in stark contrast to his humbled exit.
With this triumph, Rajabi not only secured a crucial win in his career but also cemented his reputation as one of the most disciplined and dangerous fighters in the IFT Championship. His victory was more than just a personal milestone—it was a reminder that true champions let their performance speak louder than words.
Meanwhile, Hussain faces tough questions about his approach and mindset. Talent alone, as the match proved, cannot replace respect for the sport and one’s opponent.
For Rajabi, the road ahead looks brighter than ever. Fans and analysts alike are already touting him as a serious contender for the championship belt, with his confidence and humility setting him apart both inside and outside the cage.
