He has competed in able-bodied judo at national level in the Islamic Republic of Iran. (ibngo.ir, 10 Nov 2020)

"A competition of Mahmoud Reza Miran, the former judo champion of our country, was being shown on TV. I was listening to the broadcast. At the end of that match, I told my father that, unlike most people in our province, I wanted to become a world judo champion instead of a wrestler." He then competed with able-bodied athletes for several years before taking up Para judo. "I did not know there was an environment for vision impaired judokas in our city, but before the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro I found out by chance that the judo team was training in Qaem Shahr and I went to their camp. I was invited to be their sparring partner and stayed." (magiran.com, 19 Oct 2020)
