Desert Force has announced Lebanon as their next destination for this summer. The promotion will be heading to Beirut for the very first time on Monday August 17, 2015 to hold its 18th installment.

The ‘Sayyah Vs Fakhreddine’ fight was unofficially confirmed earlier this month when Sayyah’s management, Fight Star, announced the news on their official Facebook page.

Sayah (4-3) was a last minute replacement for Tarek Suleiman in the last Desert Force event in Amman. Sayah showed superior ground skills shutting down Jarrah al Selawi in the first round before getting KO’ed half way through the second.

Fakhreddine (5-1), who tasted his first defeat at the hands of Jarrah as well in Desert Force 15, returned in Desert Force 17 to finish Amr Wahman in round 1 (Submission due to strikes) to prove that he is back, tougher than ever.

This could very well be a tough match up for Fakhreddine. Expect fireworks in this one!

ArabsMMA will be your go to source for all on Desert Force 18, stay tuned!
