00:00Mipur comes in three years younger, one inch taller, 0.4 pounds heavier as Thailand meets Iran.
00:06We're going Global Rules Muay Thai. It's going to be three threes.
00:09The 10-point must will be in use.
00:11Three knockdowns in one round is a technical knockout.
00:14No throws or grappling allowed.
00:17Driven by a dream.
00:23His father gave him the name Prince of Persia because that's where the family came from.
00:28His same father put him into martial arts at three years old.
00:33He was a professional by 13, Sarah Goye.
00:36First it was Turkey, then Dubai.
00:39Now settling into things here in Thailand.
00:43Mohamed Habibur.
00:44He was nine years old, hanging out around his uncle's gym because it was a place to be.
00:56Turkey, Sarah, he tried to fight, and he won that first little bit of prize money, and he's been looking
01:03to cash those checks ever since.
01:06Now, he's picked up three big...
01:11So the Y crew is a dance for your teacher, and that's the entire meaning behind it.
01:16Why?
01:17To pay respect.
01:18The crew is the teacher.
01:20Every fighter in Thailand does this before every single fight.
01:23And what they are saying is that I did not get here on my own.
01:27This man...
01:28This man...
01:29Representing...
01:32Iran...
01:33Mohamed...
01:35Prince of Persia...
01:40Habibur...
01:41Representing...
01:46Thailand...
01:48Wutigrai!
01:55Referee Chris Sada Pontoom, the third man in the ring for our main event.
02:00One Friday Fights is the global search for the next global superstar.
02:06Mohamed Habibur in the white.
02:08Wutigrai in the black.
02:10Already looking to catch him coming in with those nasty elbows, Sarah Goye.
02:14Yeah, I like the way Wutigrai is starting with the kicks, which is the leg working.
02:20Especially because...
02:20Habibur is like...
02:22Front leg is quite turned, so there's a great opening there for just chopping away as Wutigrai desires.
02:28Habibur continuing to push.
02:31And Wutigrai, good with the guard so far.
02:35Ooh! Sneaky axe kick in there.
02:38Guys timing that elbow.
02:41Inside there to kind of nullify the strengths of Wutigrai.
02:43But there are definitely things.
02:45It depends on the lock that Wutigrai gets.
02:49There's different defense depending on it.
02:51But I think the main thing is if he can catch Wutigrai with some elbows or punches on entry.
02:56That's gonna be the main thing.
02:57And then keep moving.
02:58I think just stay far away from it and keep chopping away at the legs.
03:03Continue...
03:03Ran into a jab right there, but the movement's good.
03:06Ooh!
03:06But he is circling a lot into that power side.
03:09This is a better way to go.
03:10Move to his right.
03:11He doesn't necessarily want to move to his left so much.
03:13Because he's gonna run into that power side of Wutigrai.
03:17But the movement's there.
03:18I wonder if he can keep it up for three rounds.
03:19Yeah, I like the way Wutigrai also is working the body a little bit with the shot.
03:25For Wutigrai.
03:26There we saw it.
03:26He started out the round with him.
03:29Continuing the round with it.
03:30Maybe finished it.
03:32Good first round on both sides.
03:34We go to the stools at the end of the first.
03:38Habibur.
03:39Fights is for those established fighters.
03:41And the young up-and-comers are all hoping to make their way to the world's largest martial arts organization.
03:47And the opportunity to win that life-changing $100,000 contract into the big show, which can lead to...
03:54He just speaks to his capability to deal with speed, with brawlers and technical brawlers.
03:58And so that's what's shown in his ability to counter so beautifully.
04:02Especially with that left elbow right now.
04:05Despite Habibur coming out heavy and with big looping punches, which would honestly scare a lot of us.
04:11It popped back the head of Wutigrai like a pen dispenser.
04:15He's got to tuck that chin.
04:17Wutigrai looks like he's waiting for a counter shot.
04:19He's trying to draw in Habibur.
04:21But maybe he's allowing Habibur to score some points in the second round, Sarah.
04:26Yeah, and even if Wutigrai doesn't feel it, when you get knocked back like that, it...
04:31Look around.
04:33Yeah, nice.
04:34Potty kick, though, landed by Wutigrai.
04:36The kicks from Wutigrai have been very nice and continuous and honestly unchecked.
04:42Which is because Habibur is just waiting to catch them.
04:46But as long as Wutigrai keeps moving that leg fast enough, he's out of range.
04:50And it's not going to be...
04:51It popped now stepping through with a knee.
04:53Big elbow from Wutigrai.
04:55I want to see him...
04:56Swing and a miss.
04:58With... goes the elbow.
05:00Look at that front leg of Wutigrai.
05:02It's a little bit banged up, and he is slowing down.
05:05You can see Habibur has been chopping away at it, and he's starting to pull it back a little bit
05:10more as well.
05:11I think that's paying off to the dance.
05:12I don't know if Habibur has seen it, but I've seen a couple times when he's just a little bit
05:16slower after it's kicked.
05:18And I'm interested to see if...
05:19Three minutes of the evening.
05:21The main event.
05:23The final round.
05:24Can Mohamed Habibur capture the biggest win of his career?
05:28Right now is the time to empty your tank and give it everything you've got for the next three minutes
05:35or less.
05:35Because you know Wutigrai is hunting for those...
05:38There, but Habibur needs to time it.
05:40He has to time it when Wutigrai steps.
05:43But that's a lot easier said than done, the way that Wutigrai is just blowing through the ring right now.
05:50Habibur continuing to try to step in, land the jab.
05:54His punches aren't quite as accurate.
05:56He steps through for a little bit more.
05:58Moving that right hand though.
06:00Close from Habibur.
06:01Are you surprised he's not going to it more?
06:04I don't know.
06:04I'm not exactly because the thing is the leg always leaves the potential for eating a shot.
06:10And those hands from Habibur have been hurting.
06:12You know, you can see it now.
06:15Habibur's laying it on.
06:17Wutigrai again.
06:18Continuing to score.
06:20But he wants to continue to try to get a finish again, Mitch.
06:23Look!
06:24Habibur skipping in with a flying knee.
06:26He's got 70 seconds.
06:28He needs to go.
06:31Oh!
06:32He's in no mind and continues to...
06:35Big left hand!
06:36Touches the chin of Wutigrai.
06:39Habibur.
06:40Putting hands together here in this last minute.
06:43He's rocking it, Mitch.
06:45Can he find a knockdown on the wall?
06:48Wutigrai.
06:50Clinch him up.
06:51Stop.
06:52The madness of the conversion.
06:53He's got that veteran experience.
06:5530 seconds.
06:55He's confident.
06:57He's doing standing.
07:00That was a big shot.
07:02Landed by Habibur.
07:03Possibly the biggest of the round.
07:05Big swing.
07:08It's an elbow versus punches fight.
07:12Habibur has been landing these crazy shots.
07:16Now he's hit up.
07:17But it's too late.
07:19But those counter elbows were declined.
07:21Caught Habibur up that round.
07:25Just...
07:25All three judges have called this contest in favor of your winner.
07:30By unanimous decision!
07:36Wutigrai!
07:37Money!
07:40Good!
07:41No!
07:43You!
07:45You!
07:50Come!
