Egyptian Welterweight Climbing Regional Ranks
Twenty four year old Mohamed Salem is carving out a name on the regional MMA scene from S&B Academy in Alexandria Egypt. Standing at six foot two he carries a 7-2 professional record into his latest stretch in the welterweight division. Salem’s career to date has taken him across regional cards where he has logged at least two fights in his last six appearances.
Salem currently sits at number 238 in the Middle East & Africa rankings and is listed in the sub regional standings for the Middle East and Egypt. Those positions reflect the requirement of competing at least twice in the region and his steady presence at 170 pounds where he has fought once in each of his last two bouts. As the welterweight class grows in depth across North Africa and the Gulf Salem’s progress offers an early indicator of how local talent is staking its claim.
