Arab fans had high hopes for the four Arab wrestlers in their various bouts in the “One” martial arts tournament, which was held in Qatar. All of them were defeated except the French-Algerian Mehdi Zaatout.
Osama Al-Maroui justified the bitter defeat with fatigue and exhaustion, without denying the toughness and strength of his Brazilian opponent. Zuhair Al-Qahtani considered that the reason for the defeat was due to not being accustomed to fighting a fight of only 3 rounds.
