The heavyweight division features two exciting matchups: Hamdy Abdelwahab versus Mohammed Usman and Curtis Blaydes versus Rizvan Kuniev. Hamdy Abdelwahab is an Egyptian Greco-Roman wrestler and mixed martial artist who competes in the UFC’s heavyweight division. He is among the top MMA fighters worldwide. Abdelwahab turned professional in 2009 and has since compiled an impressive record of 28 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw. Born in Cairo, Egypt, he started training at eight years old. Though originally planning to be a boxer, he discovered MMA at sixteen and realized he could combine his boxing with Muay Thai and wrestling. Since then, Hamdy has been focused on becoming the best fighter possible and achieving success inside the Octagon. His dedication paid off when he debuted in the UFC on April 9, 2011, at UFC 129, where he won by unanimous decision against Mark Bocek.
Since that debut, Hamdy has fought 14 times in the UFC, including notable victories over Rony Jason (technical knockout at UFC Fight Night 77) and Cub Swanson (win at Fight Night 95). Beyond fighting, he trains with MMA greats such as Demetrious Johnson, Neil Magny, and Gilbert Burns, who have helped him improve both physically and mentally. He is thankful for their guidance, which has taught him what it takes to become a champion. Overall, Hamdy Abdelwahab stands out not just for his fighting record but for his relentless work ethic and drive to excel in martial arts and personal growth. Mohammed Usman is a Nigerian-American MMA fighter competing in the welterweight and bantamweight divisions of the UFC. Famous for his knockout power and signature foot stomps, he brings unique weapons to the heavyweight category. Born in Nigeria to Alhaji Musa Umaru and Hajia Umma Isyaku, Usman began training in MMA early, under his father’s tutelage. His early boxing background expanded into Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Usman has competed in many promotions including United Combat League, Gladiator Challenge, VFC Fight Night, and Global Proving Grounds before joining the UFC in 2015. He debuted impressively by defeating Demian Maia by unanimous decision at UFC 190. Since then, he has earned wins over well-known fighters like Neil Magny, Ricardo Lamas, Sergio Moraes, Kamaru Usman, and Warlley Alves, gaining fans’ respect for his explosive style. This first heavyweight fight pairing is closely matched in terms of strength and skill, making the fight’s outcome difficult to predict.
