Khalid Ismail -The Story So Far

Two Fresh Productions recently followed World kickboxing champion/businessman turned MMA fighter Khalid Ismail over a period of time. The film looks at his journey so far in the pro MMA world and explores the qualities that are needed to become a future champion.

Khalid is feared for his immense stand up ability, after the horrendous leg break of his second opponent Wayne Brown in a record 7 seconds. The film also explores his world class strength and conditioning training techniques.

One of the films main focuses is Khalid's passion for MMA and the disciplines needed to succeed at its highest level. His belief in the ancient samurai philosophy of Bushido is one of the many factors that give him the edge over many of his opponents.

2012 will prove to be a big year for Khalid as he recovers from an almost career ending injury suffered to his right bicep. The Lions Den Gym fighter/owner is set to take the world of MMA by storm.

Khalid currently fights for the UK's top promotion UCMMA and has a professional MMA record of 2-0. Some of Khalid's kickboxing titles are: (WAKO 2005, 2007,2008 British Heavyweight Champion. BASMAA British Champion 1998-2001). You can check his interview with MMA Prospects UK here.
