Egyptian martial arts champion, Mahmoud Sbaei, commented on his loss in the MMA World Championship final, which took place on Friday evening in Las Vegas, USA, as part of the Tuff-N-Uff global competition. In his first comments after the loss, Sbaei said, "Thank God for everything in my life, for living my dream and reaching the highest level. That in itself is a great blessing." He added that he went through a difficult experience, having suffered a torn inner knee ligament and cartilage a year ago, yet he worked hard to recover and return to his high level.

Sbaei expressed his regret, saying, "My knee let me down in the first minute of the match, but I had no choice but to continue and fight until the end." He confirmed that he gave everything he had, but sometimes things are beyond our control. He added, "God always writes good and wisdom in every situation, and thank God that we continue, learn, and grow stronger." He also mentioned that despite his loss in the final, he was proud to participate in this global event and the level he had reached.

Sbaei continued, saying, "I lost the match, but at the highest possible level. The loss was painful, but I am proud of myself because I stood and fought until the last moment. God willing, I will come back stronger and better than ever. This is not the end of the journey, but a new beginning." The martial arts champion explained that he had gone through similar experiences in other areas of his life, having lost in wrestling but later won world titles. He added, "I lost in MMA, and I participated in the biggest organizations in the world. I lost in business at first but made millions after that loss. I also lost some friends, but I gained loyal friends."

Sbaei stressed that the real loss is giving up, saying, "I will never give up, that’s not in my life dictionary. I lived in 8 different countries before settling in the U.S. and gaining American citizenship. I worked in everything you can imagine or even not imagine, and that’s something I’m proud of." He added that the real loss is when a person stays in the same place and does not grow, saying, "Thank God I am among the best in the world in my field, and I raise my country’s flag with pride and honor. Whether I win or lose, I am participating in a sport that only 1% of the world practices."

Sbaei also recalled the moment he experienced in the match, saying, "Yesterday was one of the happiest and proudest moments of my life, walking into the octagon with the Egyptian national anthem in Las Vegas, carrying my country’s flag and representing my people. Thank God for every blessing from God." He continued, "This is my dream, and this is the path I have chosen because I love achieving the impossible, because the impossible becomes possible when you refuse to give up and fight until the end." Sbaei confirmed that what he had achieved was thanks to God's grace, saying, "I thank God for His grace, blessings, and generosity. I am grateful to everyone who supported me. Your support and love give me the strength to continue."

Sbaei concluded his remarks by saying, "I continue on the path I have chosen, even in the toughest times. Life is full of challenges, but I always believe that those who challenge the impossible can reach the highest levels of success, and this is not the end but the beginning of a new phase."
