Mahmoud Sebie is the biggest draw in Middle Eastern MMA and can take the sport into mainstream showbiz. That’s according to BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid, who sang the praises of the Egyptian wrestler ahead of BRAVE CF 71.
‘’The Prince of Egypt’’ takes on Oussema Zeidi to kick off the main card of the show, which goes down on June 19, in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and has the backing of Mohammed Shahid to take BRAVE CF and Arabs MMA to the highest levels of entertainment.
‘’We’ve seen that in many different sports. Sebie is an athlete that has the talent, but also has everything that’s needed to become a superstar, he has the looks, the attitude, the following and the fanbase. He has that IT factor and he can take MMA to wherever he wants it to be. He can do movies, he can go into music, he can do whatever he wants, and he will succeed’’, said Shahid, during his Hawk’s Corner podcast.
As he gets ready to fight for his third BRAVE CF victory in as many outings, Sebie has been seen recently as a leader of the next wave of Arab fighters around the world. His immense and loyal fanbase, as well as his charismatic persona, and aggressive fighting style have made him a staple of Middle Eastern MMA.
‘’Mahmoud Sebie might be the biggest draw, the biggest star in Middle Eastern MMA. That’s a huge weight on his shoulder. He’s an Olympian, so there’s no doubt regarding his work-ethic, commitment and his mentality, they’re on a different level, they have to be, otherwise you wouldn’t make it to the Olympics’’.
