Mansoor Lootah won bronze medal on IFMA 2007

Mansoor Lootah won bronze medal on IFMA 2007

The month of December brought good news for guys who live and train Muaythai in the scorching heat in the burning Dubai sun. This December Dubai Fight Academy brought the U.A.E. Muaythai team to Thailand for the World Muaythai Championship 2007. The performance of the U.A.E. team wasn’t perfect (there are a lot of explanations of that aspect), but the flaws were miniscule compared to the excitement that was when one from the team won bronze medal. Mansoor Lootah, 17 years old U.A.E. national, competed at juniors in 75 kg. division. He won two fights in a row against boxers from Turkmenistan and Austria. The third fight against the Portuguese, who became junior champion, was the most difficult. Sure, Mansoor was rocked when Portuguese boxer knocked him down in second round, but the U.A.E. warrior recovered quickly and continued the fight, but lost by points. However Mansoor Lootah deserved third place and was awarded with bronze medal. This is the biggest achievement in the history of Muaythai in Emirates!

Also a bright spot about the U.A.E. Team on World Muaythai Championship was the fact that we were sponsored by legendary Fairtex equipment. Another positive aspect of the trip was the fact that more U.A.E. nationals competed at the most prestigious Muaythai event in the history of our beloved sport. Hopefully Muaythai in Emirates will see more victories like this one in December. Especially if U.A.E. Muaythai teams will receive such financial support as the got this time from REDS (Real Estate & Development) company.
