Namo Fazil recently addressed his next fight during his post-fight interview after the Weekend’s MVP MMA event. Should his prediction come through, reports claim the Kurdish professional’s next bout could alter his career history forever.
Fazil defeated Jake Babian in a second-round submission win in Los Angeles on Sunday. The victory earned him widespread praise from American and foreign dignitaries, including former President Masoud Barzani of the Kurdistan Region.
Even more, the triumph sparked widespread celebration among Kurds globally, especially after Fazil waved the Kurdistan flag and sang its national anthem inside the arena. However, beyond the festivities, Fazil already sets his eyes on the future as a post-fight interview seemingly reveals his next action plan.
Namo Fazil talks about the next possible fight after winning at the Rousey-Carano fight
The headline event saw MMA legend Ronda Rousey return to the cage after a decade-long absence to fight Gina Carano. Rousey defeated Carano within 17 seconds to the disappointment of some fans who hoped to see the legend sweat out her fate. However, Rousey announced the fight will be her last as she hopes to raise kids and build her family.
For 29-year-old Fazil, there’s still much to do in the MMA world. During his post-fight interview last weekend, Fazil claimed he has a spot in the upcoming Dana White Contender Series events. A UFC-themed X page claims Fazil will be in action during the event’s first week in a bout that could alter his career trajectory forever. There’s no news yet on his opponent or the specific date of this bout.
With his victory over Babian, Fazil improved his professional record to 10 wins and 1 loss. The fight aired on Netflix, marking a historic debut partnership between Jake Paul’s MVP and the streaming giant. With his tactical discipline and endurance on glaring display last weekend, Fazil proved he’s worth looking out for in subsequent bouts.
