A new MMA team has recently come into sight in the Lebanese MMA territory under Sanda Expert Yazid Bou Khalil, a well known personality in the Kung Fu scene. Bou Khalil will be managing and training Ahmad Ibrahim, an Egyptian MMA fighter and Sanda World champion who had previously competed as an amateur under the European promotion Cage Warriors and as a professional in the Gladiator Fighting Championship (GFC) based in Kuwait.
Bou khalil will be Ahmad’s manager and coach in his new path at GFC and Cage Warriors and will accompany him throughout his career in MMA. Unconfirmed from official GFC management, Ahmad and Yazid will participate in the upcoming Gladiator Fighting Championship (GFC) event that will be held in May 2014 in Kuwait. Ibrahim will be part of the co-main event against the American JJ Ambrose (Top Team, Phuket Thailand) in a Trilogy after defeating the latter then again losing. So here comes the third to set things straight!
Also joining his team is an up and coming female fighter Christina Koranouh, along with Miled Slaiby one of the first Lebanese fighters to take part of Desert Force. After a long lay off, Sleiby plans to get back on the train yet little is known about the division he will compete it.
The world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in the region is taking a major leap forward as more and more teams are rising producing great athletes and supporting homegrown talent.

Ahmad Ibrahim should join an intensive wrestling/bjj camp. he has amazing striking skills but he has to focus on his weaknesses.

And By the way, someone pro like him deserves to train with the best… As he has coach yazid for striking, for sure, he needs an advanced bjj instructor as well… And for sure this will happen soon…
