Former Desert Force featherweight champion, Abdul-Kareem Al Selwady will be back in the cage on May 25 for Desert Force 17 when the promotion heads back home. This might be old news for some yet there is always something new about his training and forward mentality.

Constantly updating the fans on his social media, Al Selwady has been lately staying in the entourage of former Desert Force middle weight champion, Hashem Arkhagha and the grappling ‘wiz’ Ashraf Shishani. Shishani has been showcasing his superior coaching on the professional and amateur level, precisely what the former champ needs as he prepares to make his comeback after a devastating loss at Desert Force 14.

Al Selwady has also been spotted training and sparring with Team Narmouq fighters who in turn will also be taking part of Desert Force 17 fight card.

Team Narmouq is primarily a Combat Sambo team with several top notch fighters such as Nawras Abzakh who is 1-0 as a professional in Cage Warriors and Saddam Abou Ragheb who will make his professional debut inside the Desert Force cage against Silvester Saba also this May. Not too long ago, Team Narmouq received a visit from a few members from Tristar Gym Lebanon. It is good to see this club, which is one of the first mixed martial arts clubs in Jordan and the Middle East, get some recognition over media and take part in good diplomacy with other clubs. With repeated visits from different fighters around the region, they surely have a lot to offer.

‘Abdul Kareem Al Selwady Vs Lois Cadet’ has MENTAL written all over it for the young Jordanian who will be looking to get back on the winning track in front of his home crowd in Amman. With his father’s persistant support and his professional surrounding, nothing can stop this young man!

Abdulkareem will face Lois Cadet, who happens to be the teammate of the current featherweight Champion Aziz Julaidan. How will that affect Al selwady? This could be a drive for the former champ to send a message, but it might as well turn him off.

This fight will take place at Desert Force 17 on may 25th. The date has been recently changed as Desert Force officials confirmed today.
