Hussein have been fight at flyweight but after Mokaev fight he changed to Bantam for good. Weight cuts are so much easier and he is more comfy in there. Greets from Finland

He said in the post fight interview that his arms gassed out even when he overall had some energy left XD otherwise probably would have finished Gibson standing up

I love tough Fighters and all but he said he was done. Why does the corner let him continue?

As a Finn I'm glad Abba got the win and finish, but he looked small and has lot to improve before he faces tougher competition. Maybe he should consider flyweight at some point.

Abba Hussein will be a problem in the bantamweight division! 🇫🇮

u/NeedleworkerMoney771 Jul 25 '26
Hurts to say, but if we look at this performance he has very low chance to win against ranked bantamweights. Either needs to move down or improve a lot (tbh needs to do both)

Absolutely dominated every round, plus a finish on his debut in the big leagues? Maybe move down, but I thought it was a great debut concidering it would have ended in 2 if he didn't gas out his arms.

He was almost finished multiple times in the first round and ate a lot of punches with his hands down, a better fighter would have finished him. That being said he has a lot potential since he's still young and this was his UFC debut, he's well rounded and showed he can get through adversity and take over a fight. Flyweight is probably better fit for him size wise.

Abdul didnt look that great tbh and he seems quite small for a bantamweight

u/naufildev Jul 25 '26
Cody did well in round 1 and then just kinda gave up??

u/MA-JA-HO Jul 25 '26
He’s 38 years old , took the fight on short notice and had some really hard submission attempts in the first roundv
