MMA FIGHTERS LINKED TO TERROR CELL

Hezbollah is a Shia Islamist political party and militant group based in Lebanon. Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council, and its political wing is the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese parliament. Since the death of Abbas al-Musawi in 1992, the group has been headed by Hassan Nasrallah, its Secretary-General. The organization or its military wing are considered terrorist organizations in eighteen countries, as well as by the Arab League and the European Union. Hezbollah was founded in the early 1980s as part of an Iranian effort to aggregate a variety of militant Lebanese Shia groups into a unified organization. Hezbollah acts as a proxy for Iran in the ongoing Iran–Israel proxy conflict. Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to harass Israel. Its leaders were followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of 1,500 Revolutionary Guards that arrived from Iran with permission from the Syrian government, which was in occupation of Lebanon at the time. Hezbollah's 1985 manifesto listed its objectives as the expulsion of "the Americans, the French and their allies definitely from Lebanon, putting an end to any colonialist entity on our land", submission of the Christian Phalangists to "just power" and bringing them to justice "for the crimes they have perpetrated against Muslims and Christians" and permitting "all the sons of our people" to choose the form of government they want, while calling on them to "pick the option of Islamic government". Hezbollah waged a guerrilla campaign in South Lebanon, and as a result Israel withdrew from Lebanon on 24 May 2000, and the South Lebanon Army (SLA) collapsed and surrendered. Hezbollah organised volunteers who fought on the Bosnian side during the Bosnian War. Hezbollah's military strength has grown so significantly since 2006 that its paramilitary wing is considered more powerful than the Lebanese Army. Hezbollah has been described as a "state within a state" and has grown into an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite TV station, social services and large-scale military deployment of fighters beyond Lebanon's borders. Hezbollah is part of the March 8 Alliance within Lebanon, in opposition to the March 14 Alliance. Hezbollah maintains strong support among Lebanon's Shi'a population, while Sunnis have disagreed with the group's agenda. Hezbollah also finds support from within some Christian areas of Lebanon that are Hezbollah strongholds. Hezbollah receives military training, weapons, and financial support from Iran and political support from Syria. Hezbollah and Israel fought each other in the 2006 Lebanon War. After the 2006–2008 Lebanese protests and clashes, a national unity government was formed in 2008, with Hezbollah and its opposition allies' obtaining eleven of thirty cabinets seats, enough to give them veto power. In August 2008, Lebanon's new Cabinet unanimously approved a draft policy statement that recognized Hezbollah's existence as an armed organization and guarantees its right to "liberate or recover occupied lands" (such as the Shebaa Farms). Since 2012, Hezbollah has helped the Syrian government during the Syrian civil war in its fight against the Syrian opposition, which Hezbollah has described as a Zionist plot and a "Wahhabi-Zionist conspiracy" to destroy its alliance with Assad against Israel. It has deployed its militia in both Syria and Iraq to fight or train local forces to fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The group's legitimacy is considered to have been severely damaged due to the sectarian nature of the Syrian Civil War in which it has become embroiled. Kartila Madan is a non-denominational Lebanese paramilitary group affiliated with Hezbollah. The irregular militia is composed of fighters that are funded, trained, armed, and founded by Hezbollah with rumors tied to Western financing. The organization's manpower, composition, and strength are expected to be on the rise. It's unclear when the group was founded, but its focus has been on countering Sunni extremists like ISIL by engaging in open conflict and guerrilla warfare with their adversary. Kartila Madan fighters are less disciplined and subject to less strict rules than Hezbollah fighters. Consequently, their militants have been involved in a large number of violent confrontations with police, the Lebanese Army, and various Lebanese partisans. Lebanese interior minister Nohad Machnouk criticized the group for challenging the sovereignty of the Lebanese government. Critics contend that the group is no longer focused on fighting ISIL, but rather exists as political cover for Hezbollah's actions and as a containment group for thugs and troublemakers. Likewise, some Sunnis have charged the Kartila Madan with focusing more on countering Sunni fundamentalism than Israel. Kartila Madan have also been accused by the DEA and other drug agencies of trafficking drugs from South America through Africa into Europe and Southwest Asia, an accusation they adamantly deny.

"The Pitbull" Mohammed Kahn

Introduced to Chris Karter by his cousin, Muhammad Jabbar, his MMA career has been well documented up to this point. Despite his known militant affiliation he was able to enter the Madness TUF tournament and go on to win the show capturing the Madness Light Heavyweight championship and going on to become the star of the organization. An established and accomplished MMA fighter signed to the #1 organization in the world by the age of 22, unlike his cousin Jabbar who is relatively unknown on the MMA scene, Kahn's success in the MMA cage foreshadows his disturbing past as a self-proclaimed freedom fighter on the front lines of combat in the Middle East.

"Muharib" Muhammad Jabbar

Best known for holding a submission victory over Latrobe Arundel in their MMA debuts. Jabbar is a black belt in BJJ that has spent the entirety of his career fighting out of Convicted Fight Club in Los Angeles. Initially denied a visa due to an affiliation with a terrorist network back in his home country of Mauritania, it required Karter's direct intervention to pull strings with POTUS to get Jabbar into the United States. Unlike his younger cousin Mohammed Kahn, his career hasn't found the success that would bring his background to light. His position within the Kartila Madan oligarchy is unknown, but he's suspected to have enough influence to be flagged by the U.S. government, and placed on the terrorist watch list by the good ole boys in the red, white, and blue.

"Real Rolex" Zaid Al Balushi

Convicted Inc Manager Manuel "Salad" Tosen met Zaid at the Mutrah Souq in Muscat, where he was peddling fake watches to dumb dhimmis. Tosen was impressed by Zaid's ability to wrangle people into his shop and recruited him to his fight team. For the last six years he spent his time training at Tosen's Home for Lost Boys in Rio de Jeinero, one of the cocaine capitals of the world. Suspected to be Kartila Madan's connection to the South American drug trade, a joint-task of the Federal Police of Brazil and INTERPOL conducted a sting on one of Zaid's alleged drug operations, but recovered only bundles of counterfeit "Mentor Penis Cream" on the premises. Zaid was detained for days and several human rights violations occurred before he was released.

Dhabu Vihdonic

The Libyan Kickboxer is a Heavyweight knockout artist that enters the ring with a kill-or-be-killed mentality. He accumulated a 9-6 professional record with all 8 victories coming by way of knockout before an old picture circulating the internet started making its rounds across MMA news outlets. The picture shows an RPG-wielding Dhabu Vihdonic posing with Mohammed Kahn and other Kartila Madan militants on what looks to be the front lines of the Lebanon-Syria border. As fearless in the ring as he was on the battlefield, Dhabu has taken on every opponent no matter how much more experienced or skilled they may be.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

It is expected that Convicted Fight Club's BJJ Coach Abraham Donowitz is responsible for training an entire generation of Kartila Madan militants in self-defense and hand-to-hand combat techniques. Why would Donowitz, an Israeli born MMA fighter nicknamed "Jewsus Christ", willingly train fighters affiliated with a faction of anti-Israeli extremist?

"You just gotta open your heart man. To uh, defeat hate and stuff, you gotta like, kill it with kindness and shit. I'm just always over here like whoah, chill, we're all children of the Earth dude. In the gym it's all love, you know what I mean?"
