Hamdy "The Hammer" Abdelwahab faces Chris "Huggy Bear" Barnett in a heavyweight fight at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. This exciting UFC 321 bout promises to be an interesting clash as both fighters look to get back into the win column.
Abdelwahab, who fights out of Killer B Combat Sports Academy, comes with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss since turning pro. He most recently dropped a unanimous decision to Mohammed Usman in June this year. Despite this setback, his solid takedown ability can challenge Barnett’s vulnerable striking defense.
Barnett hails from Hardcore Gym with more experience under his belt, holding 23 wins and 9 losses. "Beastboy" is familiar with tough competition, having lost by TKO against Kennedy Nzechukwu nearly a year ago. If Barnett can withstand Abdelwahab's power and use his stamina wisely, this could be an enthralling fight.
