Dubai resident Mounir ‘The Sniper’ Lazzez made his mark on the UFC debut with a sensational win in Abu Dhabi’s Fight Island on Thursday morning. Meanwhile, Calvin Kattar nailed Dan Ige in the main event to make a strong claim for featherweight title fight against Alexander Volkanovski.
Lazzez was the real star of the day. Making his UFC debut in the welterweight division bout, he walked out by 6 am to open the main card event in the Flash Forum. Lazzez was amazingly calm when attacked and violent in his response against a ferocious Abdul Razak Al Hassan who’s on a record 10 first-round knockouts against one loss – the second highest KO rate in the UFC history.
As expected, Al Hassan started the encounter with ruthless punches and just when it seemed Lazzez was in a spot, the Tunisian expatriate hit back with his own set of head kicks.
Talk about a debut ??Lazzez with a strong takedown stretched Al Hassan into the second round.

GOT. IT. DONE.“He was a tough kid. It wasn’t easy but I got the job done. It seems everyone is calling out the champ right now but doing that from the comfort of their homes. I am going out there and fighting it. If the champ wants some contenders, he got one in me,” Kattar said after extending his win-loss record to 25-4.

Absolute respect to close the night. #UFCFightIsland1 pic.twitter.com/bpE52skdsv“I tested myself against the best in the world. I went through five rounds. I have never been before five rounds, so I know I can push it. I have to work on technical errors. I am going to get better and win again,” Ige added.
