Interview with MMA fighter Toufeeq Khan

 

MMA Fighter Toufeeq Kan

Backchat was joined by Toufeeq Khan who is an amazing talented teenager that do MMA fighting and has been doing it for quite some time now. Toufeeq shared with us that MMA is a combination of all mixed martial arts and he started at the age of five years by doing karate but when he turned seven he made the shift towards MMA.

 

His hopes is to be able to travel and go compete in a MMA tournament taking place where he will be representing Western Cape at the MMASA Amateur Championship. The event will have various categories starting from age 12 years-old. Toufeeq also said that he does not feel intimidated by other fellow fighters in the sport and is very confident.

All these athletes have been through a trial process via their provincial federations before being chosen to compete at the Nationals in Abudarbi, where he says he hopes to bring home the gold.

 The winners will not only walk away with Champion-status bragging rights and an early foundation to continue building their mixed martial arts brand for the future, but they too will have an opportunity to compete at the IMMAF World Championship in Nur Sultan, Kazakhstan in November/December later this year.
