Qadya 3 will put two world championship titles on the line, Qadya Sports Events recently announces on their Instagram account. No date has been set yet. An MMA veteran with UFC experience will be seeking to capture the welterweight throne while the vacant lightweight title will find a home.
The main event will see Egypt’s Mohamed Salem look to defend his welterweight title against dangerous “The Kill” Will Chope, of the USA.

Mohamed Salem earned the vacant welterweight at Qadya MMA 2 when he defeated Brazil’s Pedro Farias over the course of five rounds. The 22-year-old Egyptian fighter trains under the tutelage of Arab MMA veteran Ahmed Faress.
On what the world title means to him, on Instagram, Salem explained, “Throwing myself into the unknown is what makes me feel alive, moments like this is what makes me feel alive.”
