Youssef Zalal packed his bags at the host hotel where he was lodged with a couple dozen other UFC hopefuls.
What a disappointment. After thinking he was on the verge of a second chance, he was back in the pool of bodies with uncertain futures.
Less than 24 hours after the “TUF 32” producer knocked on his door to inform him he was in the last batch of cuts, Zalal (13-5-1 MMA, 3-3-1 UFC) received a phone call that picked up his spirits once again. What a rollercoaster.
