Afghan mixed martial arts fighter Farid Basharat extended his undefeated streak to 14 wins after defeating Chris Guti\u00e9rrez of Guatemala in a UFC bout early Sunday.<\/p>\n
Basharat earned a unanimous decision victory over Guti\u00e9rrez in the fight held in the United States, according to event organizers. The win marks another milestone in the rising fighter\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
The Afghan athlete, who competes in the bantamweight division, has remained unbeaten since turning professional. His previous victory came last year against Brazil\u2019s Victor Hugo in a UFC event held in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
Basharat and his brother Javid Basharat, also a UFC fighter, are among the few Afghan-born athletes competing at the highest level of international mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Afghan mixed martial arts fighter Farid Basharat extended his undefeated streak to 14 wins after defeating Chris Guti\u00e9rrez…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-191863","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-mma","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
