Abdul Razak Alhassan had to battle through some adversity before and during his fight with Joaquin Buckley.
Alhassan (11-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) lost a split decision to Buckley in the main card opener of this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 201 event, marking his fourth loss in his past five outings.
But Alhassan revealed that an array of unfortunate circumstances and injuries made his training camp difficult, almost forcing him to pull out of the fight. Not only that, but Alhassan says he broke his rib in Round 2 of his fight against Buckley.
