Arab fighters Abdelwahab and Al-Selwady to represent region at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi
ABU DHABI: Egypt’s Hamdy Abdelwahab and Palestine’s Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady will bring power, passion and more than a little regional pride to the Etihad Arena at “UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane” on Oct. 25.
Abdelwahab, a former Olympic wrestler who represented Egypt at the Tokyo 2020 Games, made history as his country’s first UFC fighter. He returns to action in Abu Dhabi against American Chris Barnett.
“It feels great because it feels like I’m home, fighting in my hometown,” said Abdelwahab, who was born in Cairo.
