The UFC Fight Island is bringing athletes from different corners of the world to Abu Dhabi. And local boy Mounir Lazzez - a Tunisian expat living in Dubai for close to nine years - could not have hoped for a better start to his UFC career.
The 32-year-old fighter is set for the UFC debut in the welterweight division of the Fight Night on Thursday. Lazzez will feature in the opening fight of the main card against Abdul Razak Al Hassan.
How Lazzez landed this opportunity is quite a story. Adam, his friend, saw UFC president Dana White at a restaurant in Las Vegas and showed Lazzez's highlight-reel footage. White was impressed and signed him immediately.
"He saw my highlight-reel, followed me on social media, and put me in contact with UFC matchmaker Sean Selby. He offered me a direct fight," he said.
.One of the most exciting strikers out of the Middle East, @MLazzez will return to the Brave CF cage, now, to face @Eldar_Khan for the inaugural Super Lightweight title."Everything happens for a reason in the right time and moment. So whatever you want to call it, hard work or luck, I'm here."
Will he stop the decorated wrestler and become the first Super Lightweight Champion of the World? pic.twitter.com/bNrXdB8i3u
