Abdul-Kareem Al-Serwadi’s UFC debut is just around the corner after an impressive performance on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Al-Serwadi (15-3) will face Loic Radjabov at the UFC Fight Night event on March 2 at Boulevard Hall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Al-Serwadi was a big underdog when he earned a contract with the UFC by defeating former Cage Warriors champion George Hardwick by unanimous decision in Round 58 of Dana White’s Contender Series in August. The 28-year-old Fortis MMA fighter is on a five-fight winning streak.
Radjabov (17-5-1) is rebounding from a knockout loss to Mateusz Rebecki at UFC on ESPN 5 in June. To date, the two-time PFL finalist has posted consecutive wins over Zach Zane and previously undefeated Esteban Rybovic.
