He has fought professionally since 2012, raising the Palestine flag at every fight, which is how he got his nickname, “Pride Of Palestine.” He was the first and youngest fighter to win the Desert Force Featherweight Title at just 18 years old and successfully defended his title before signing with Brave Combat Federation (BCF), where he eventually earned the BCF Lightweight Championship. During his offseason from fighting, he competes at jiujitsu tournaments where he has over 50 wins and many gold medals.
