They call Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi enemy territory,, But when the same fighters go to the US it isn't considered enemy territory. Lol. Funny thing is,, crowds in the US chant horrific things, throw things. That doesn't happen in Abu Dhabi and won't happen in Saudi Arabia. Those are the least hostile/enemy territories around .

It’ll surprise anyone living in the past. Mr Knuckles hasn’t finished anyone since 2017, Ikram is on a finishing streak (1st round finishes at that) Ya he’s fighting cans but idk, he’s gonna come after Whittaker and this fight ain lasting 5 rounds. Ikram to win by KO round 2 Whittaker is done.
