Statement win over Claudio Ribeiro
Alhassan defeated Claudio Ribeiro via KO (punches) at 0:28 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
In a pick 'em fight, Alhassan's trademark power was the difference. Abdul had a rough start to the bout, absorbing some brutal leg kicks from Ribeiro early on. He wisely recognized a potential hole in his opponent's game and spent the rest of the round controlling the Brazilian along the fence. Alhassan found his range on the feet in Round 2, crushing and finishing Ribeiro with massive strikes during an exchange early in the frame. Alhassan's UFC run appeared to be on life support following three straight defeats from July 2020 to April 2021, but he's won two of three since, with the defeat being a split decision against Joaquin Buckley last February. Alhassan's ceiling is non-existent because he has no means of generating offense if his power shots aren't landing, but Abdul is clearly capable of performances such as this one if they are.
