Nadeem Naeem Chaudary
Pakistan MMA record 1-0
Age 30
Weight 93 kg (205 lbs)
Team Shaheen
With almost two decades of wrestling experience, Nadeem is the first high level wrestler to make the transition into MMA. International competitive experience and a narrow miss to being selected for Pakistan’s Olympic team make Nadeem THE force to be reckoned with at the light heavy weight category. His MMA story begins with a meeting with PAKMMA head and Team Shaheen captain in a local Lahore wrestling pit (akhara) from there he was asked to come and coach wrestling for Team Shaheen. At Team Shaheen he began an appreciation for MMA and began to supplement his wrestling with other fighting skills. Making his MMA debut at Pak Fight Club 1, Nadeem demolished his opponent in the first round with ground and pound, using heavy punches and dominant positional control. For those wanting a heavy fighter who moves quick and has an intelligent approach to the game, Nadeem is one to watch out for.
