UFC 242: Undefeated Moroccan Star Ottman Azaitar to Make Debut Against Finland’s Packalen in Abu Dhabi

The return of the UFC to the Emirates will be marked by a great fight, which will pit two well-known names in the world of mixed martial arts against each other. Indeed, in Abu Dhabi, the Finnish boxer Teema Packalen is eagerly awaiting to measure himself against the Moroccan champion Ottman Azaitar.

For the first time that he will fight in the UFC 242 category, the Moroccan officially announced the news on his Instagram account. Ottman, still undefeated, has a record of 11 wins, specifies the information site Article19. And to recall that the last fight took place in Tangier in August 2018 against the Serbian Danijel Kokora, who was quickly dominated by the Moroccan. Indeed, Ottman "folded the game in the 22nd second after a ’Ground and Pound’, against which the referee decided to end the duel," adds the same source.

As for his challenger, Teema Packalen, he will try to wash his honor, as he lost his last match against a certain Marc Diakiese two years earlier, in the round of 16 on this same land of Abu Dhabi.
