UFC Signs Hamdy Abdelwahab, The First Egyptian Fighter in Promotion’s History

The UFC made history by signing it’s first Egyptian fighter in the promotion’s history this week.

Hamdy Abdelwahab was born in Cairo, Egypt and has spent the last few years competing in MMA and Bare Knuckle MMA (3-0 MMA, 2-0 BKMMA) where he is currently on a 5-fight win streak and now part of the biggest MMA promotion in America.

Here is a clip below of what Jorge Masvidal thought when he first saw Abdelwahab fight before “The Hammer” was officially signed to the UFC.
