In Tashkent, Jabezev accepted his award from IMMAF President Kerrith Brown, accompanied by Mohammed Ali Qambar, President of the Bahrain Mixed Martial Arts Federation. Brown mentioned Jabezev’s remarkable technical performance across IMMAF competitions, emphasizing how his excellence has not only bolstered Bahrain’s global reputation in MMA but also elevated the level of competition and excitement surrounding the IMMAF events.

Setting New Standards for Future Athletes

Jabezev’s success is a point of pride for Bahrain, showing the nation’s commitment to developing world-class martial artists. His achievements set a high standard for future athletes, inspiring the next generation of fighters from Bahrain to aim for international success in mixed martial arts.
