Youssef Zalal was enjoying New York City. He was less than two weeks removed from the biggest win of his career, a submission of Jack Shore on November 2 in Edmonton, was about to corner his teammate, David Onama, in Madison Square Garden, and he was enjoying a little food from NYC staple The Halal Guys.

Suffice to say, life was good. And on Wednesday of the UFC 309 fight week, it got better for the rising featherweight star when he got a call with an offer for his next bout.
