Mohammad Alaqraa is determined to make himself a household name and next Friday, he’ll have the platform of Professional Fighters League and the opportunity to do so.
Training out of American Kickboxing Academy under the tutelage of longtime AKA head coach Javier Mendez and former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov, Alaqraa carries a 5-0 record into his promotional debut against Youcef Ouabbas at PFL MENA next Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Alaqraa has some observers predicting him to be the next great AKA fighter after Nurmagomedov and current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, comparisons he doesn’t take lightly.
