“This fight meant more than just another win,” Nada explained after the match. “Osama and I have shared this rivalry for years, and with one victory each, I wanted to leave no doubt about how the trilogy would end.

“Getting the submission and moving one step closer to becoming champion means a lot to me. Morocco will be with me in the final, and I’m going there to bring the belt home.”
