Abdelwahab next appeared on iKon FC, where he defeated Dustin Clements by third-round technical knockout on 21 January 2022.[7]

He then defeated Matthew Strickland via first-round knockout at iKon FC 3 on 3 June 2022.[8]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit | edit source]

On 28 June 2022, it was announced that Abdelwahab had signed with the UFC, making him the first Egyptian fighter to sign with the organization.[9]

Abdelwahab made his promotional debut at UFC 277 against Don'Tale Mayes. He won the fight via a split decision.[10] However, the fight would be overturned to no-contest due to a failed drug test.[11][12]

Abdelwahab was scheduled to face Parker Porter on 22 October 2022, at UFC 280.[13] However, Abdelwahab was removed from the event for unknown reasons and he was replaced by Slim Trabelsi.[14]

In early February 2023, Abdelwahab had accepted a two–year suspension from USADA after he tested positive for the banned anabolic agent Metenolone during two drug tests in late summer 2022. He was able to compete again on 30 July 2024.[15] However, at the end of July 2024, the UFC's anti-doping program CSAD suspended Abdelwahab for six months for "exogenous testosterone" which will allow him to compete on 30 January 2025.[16]

Abdelwahab faced Jamal Pogues on 1 February 2025 at UFC Fight Night 250.[17] He won the fight by split decision.[18]

Abdelwahab was scheduled to face Mohammed Usman on 17 May 2025 at UFC Fight Night 256.[19] However, after the event was no longer held in Qatar, the bout was moved to 21 June 2025 and took place at UFC on ABC 8.[20] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[21]

Abdelwahab faced Chris Barnett on 25 October 2025 at UFC 321.[22] Despite being deducted one point due to illegal elbow to the back of head, Abdelwahab won the fight by unanimous decision.[23]

On 27 October 2025, it was reported that Abdelwahab was removed from the UFC roster, despite winning his most recent bout.[24]
