Facing Camilo next
Al-Selwady will take on Matheus Camilo in a lightweight bout at UFC 321 on October 25 in Abu Dhabi, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Al-Selwady has had three straight cancelled bouts -- at this point, it would be a win for him simply to partake in an actual fight. Still, he could use an actual win, as he's 0-1 in the UFC, falling in his debut to Loik Radzhabov in March of 2024. His opponent Camilo is also 0-1 in the promotion.

Headed to Abu Dhabi
Al-Selwady will take on Guram Kutateladze in a lightweight matchup at UFC Abu Dhabi on August 3, Farah Hannoun of MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Al-Selwady got his UFC opportunity after a win on Contender Series but was knocked out by Loik Radzhabov his official debut last March. He now draws Kutatteladze, a loser of back-to-back fights who fights relatively infrequently and last competed in July of 2023. Al-Selwady will be giving up three inches in both height and reach to his opponent, but will likely try to close the distance by wrestling.
