Hamdy Abdelwahab Post-Fight Interview | UFC Saudi Arabia

This was a patient clash between a pair of fighters looking to find the right shots and be efficient with their output, resulting in the two men running level for much of the contest; Abdelwahab coming out of the corner stronger in the first half of the rounds before Pogues warmed into things in the back half. With the outcome seemingly hanging in the balance heading into the third, both men came out a little more spirited and active, with neither man taking clear control of the fight, leaving it to the judges to sort out.

When the scores were collected and totalled, it was Abdelwahab that came out on the happy side of the split decision verdict, registering his first UFC victory. The Egyptian Olympic wrestler moved to 6-0 with one no contest with the win, while the Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) alum Pogues fell to 2-2 inside the Octagon with the loss.

Alexander was the quicker, more diverse of the two in the striking exchanges, showcasing a diverse array of attacks. Grad was able to successfully navigate the first and weather the storm in the early moments of the second, and when he dragged the Brazilian to the mat, he was eventually able to climb into mount, settle in, and unleash a torrent of unanswered blows that brought about the stoppage.

Jasmine Jasudavicius Post-Fight Interview | UFC Saudi Arabia
/

The gritty Canadian was able to hold her own with the former bantamweight title challenger on the feet, but dominated the action whenever the fight hit the canvas, utilizing her top game to punish the Brazilian. As always, the volume and conditioning from Jasudavicius were impressive parts of her arsenal, as her constant output and bottomless gas tank aided in keeping Bueno Silva from building any real momentum, aiding in her ability to widen the gap between the two down the stretch.

This was an outstanding win from Jasudavicius, who is now 7-2 in the UFC and continuing on her upward trajectory in the flyweight division. With four straight victories and a dominant showing here, a date with a Top 10 opponent could be in line for the surging Niagara Top Team representative.

The all-action American took the fight to Hadžović from the outset, pressuring the returning veteran with strikes before using a guillotine to attack to sweep into top position when the two hit the canvas. From there, “T. Wrecks” turned up the intensity and the output, battering the Bosnian with punches and elbows until referee Jason Herzog was left with no choice but to stop the fight.

The big man representing the Kingdom of Bahrain flashed his quick, powerful hands from the outset of his bout with Thomas Petersen, and finished things with a one-hitter-quitter in the center of the Octagon, driving a right hand down the pipe to floor his fellow DWCS alum.

After running out of steam in a main event assignment with Jairzinho Rozenstruik to open last year, Gaziev has now earned back-to-back wins inside the Octagon to move to 3-1 overall under the UFC banner. He’s solid in all phases and remains an intriguing member of the heavyweight Top 15.

Muhammad Naimov Post-Fight Interview | UFC Saudi Arabia

“Hillman” was the superior fighter from start to finish in this one, displaying all the facets of his game as he out-hustled and out-muscled Ofli in all three rounds. Each time the Australian looked to build a little momentum, Naimov was there to counter and re-assert his control, using the full compliment of his skill set to thoroughly outclass his opponent.

After getting upset last time out in Saudi Arabia, this was an outstanding return to the win column for Naimov. He’s now 4-1 in the UFC and entrenched in the “Second 15” in the featherweight division, which means another opportunity to try and work forward could very well be on the horizon for the talented fighter from Tajikistan.
