Yousri Belgaroui Credits Brutal Camp for UFC Seattle Win

Yousri Belgaroui secured a third-round TKO victory over Mansur Abdul-Malik at UFC Seattle, handing the fighter his first career loss.

Belgaroui battered Abdul-Malik with leg kicks and a clean jab before weathering a takedown attempt to secure the TKO victory. The Turkish-Dutch star credits his grueling training camp, which simulated dangerous submission scenarios, for the performance.

After a failed Contender Series run, the 33-year-old has now won back-to-back UFC fights and is eager to return to the octagon.
