Ghadzi Ghadzhiev kicked things off with a GOLD medal in the 88.4 kg category, dominating Kazakhstan’s Abylai Shakerbekov. Right behind him, Gimbat Magomedov took home another GOLD in the 79.4 kg category after a fierce win against Ukraine’s Bohdan Voloshyn!

Magomed Sheikhov fought through a knee injury to secure a hard-fought SILVER in the 56.7 kg category, while Sultan Gapizov, despite a hand injury, fought for BRONZE in the 97+ kg category.

And the best part? Bahrain’s national anthem was played not once, but twice, as they celebrated the wins of Gimbat and Ghadzi

Big shoutout to IMMAF for introducing championship belts this year, giving the winners a true pro-fighter experience! What an epic way to celebrate Bahrain’s MMA legends!
