What’s Next?
Bouncing back after a patch of bad form. Abdul Razak Alhassan looks to regain his feet and rediscover the form that saw him become one of the Welterweights division’s most feared punchers.
Now up in weight class, Abdul hopes he has turned a corner as he enters the latter stages of his career. Now 37, and with a record of 12-5, the next few fights could be make or break for the Ghanaian.
An exciting fighter if given the right dance partner, the UFC would be wise to give Alhassan opponents who suit his style. This would not only provide Abdul with good fights but the fans as well. Using him as an exciting and explosive fighter would be good for all involved.
