Afghan fighter Zafar Mohsin wins on Oktagon debut
Zafar Mohsin, an Afghan mixed martial artist, marked a memorable debut in the Oktagon MMA organization by defeating a Swedish opponent to secure his first victory on the international stage.
The bout took place late Saturday in the German city of Düsseldorf, drawing attention from regional fight fans and Afghan sports followers watching Mohsin’s first appearance in the promotion.
Competing in the 66-kilogram division, Mohsin faced Sweden’s Samuel Bark in a closely contested fight that tested endurance, technique and tactical discipline across three intense rounds.
After a hard-fought encounter, the judges awarded Mohsin a points victory, reflecting his consistency, control and resilience throughout the bout.
Oktagon MMA is one of Europe’s fastest-growing mixed martial arts organizations, hosting high-profile events across Germany, the Czech Republic and other countries, and serving as a launchpad for emerging fighters.
Afghan athletes in combat sports have increasingly sought opportunities abroad, often training and competing under difficult circumstances while aiming to represent their country on global platforms.
For Mohsin, the Düsseldorf win represents both a personal milestone and a breakthrough moment, as it was his first fight and first victory within the Oktagon organization.
The result is expected to boost his confidence and visibility, potentially opening doors to tougher matchups and longer-term prospects in European mixed martial arts competitions.
