Any idea what Haryouli is doing? Wasting his talents doing nothing it seems.
Nabil Haryouli has a MMA-fight coming up in October. It looks like he’s combining a career in kickboxing and MMA.
So far he looks like an exciting MMA-prospect as he absolutely blasted through all his opponents, but his opponents have been either inferior kickboxers making their MMA-debut, or MMA-fighters who’re not any good. For example, his next opponent has a 3-7 record..
I understand they want to build his record, and he looks promising, but at some point Haryouli really needs to step up his game and fight tougher competition, it’s something I talked about with
@Siver! quite recently
It looks like he’s surrounding himself with the right people though
As for kickboxing, at just 24 years old he’s still young and quite the prospect, plus he’s very popular.
However, he isn’t super tested at the top level or something, so imo there’s still a lot of work to do for him in kickboxing too, for example try to become Enfusion champion and potentially join GLORY.
His win over Ahmad Chikh Mousa (who’s just 23 years old himself) in 2019 aged tremendously though, because the latter went on to have success in GLORY and challenge Petch for his worldtitle and look quite good.
Also, Haryouli’s only professional loss was a decision against Enfusion lightweight & super featherweight champion Ilias Zouggary back in 2017, when Nabil was only 17 years old.
