One pound! … didn’t fight me because of one pound! I know You were looking for an excuse to quit. You could have fought me, but you didn’t. You chickened out, you’re a coward”, Fakhreddine exclaimed, during his post-win interview with Brave announcer Cyrus Fees.
The knockout over Witos moved Mohammad Fakhreddine to 10-1 in his professional MMA career. He has two wins under the Brave banner, debuting with a TKO victory over Vinicius Cruz at Brave 4, less than a month ago.
