Desert Force Al Academiya 2 is underway on MBC Action, airing from the KASOTC Military Training Center in Amman. Three episodes of the show packed with entertainment and good fights have already broadcasted, with Abdul Kareem al Selwady and Aziz Julaidan leading the teams.
ArabsMMA had the chance to sit down and talk to Aziz Julaidan for his comments on the 3 episodes so far.
Julaidan:
I was excited to see how fighters will perform after what they have been through in the past days , no one wants to accept defeat and return back to their home with a free hair cut , tapping is not an option for some fighters. Andrew’s fight was technical fight, he knew what to do and executed his game plan very well,
Alazani really impressed me , they guy will never quit that’s all I can say about him and pulled the victory!
Yasser vs Osama was an aggressive fight, but Yasser got an advantage on the ground .
Probably more so than the fighters, the fights, and the training, the success of Al Academiya largely relies on the coaches themselves! The two coaches will a go against each other once again in Desert Force Al Academia II Finale taking place end of this year in KSA. At the end of 2013, Julaidan requested to fight Al-Selwady after the former had been newly crowned with the Desert Force 66 KG title, defeating Yousef “Polvo” Al-Hamad via first round knock-out. Though the bout was set and the prize luxurious, Julaidan dropped out of the fight due to a reported injury.
