The first FINALE @OfficialAlBatal is complete!

With the injury to Youness, the producers picked Sophian to step in as a late replacement for the Al Batal 84 Kilo finale.

Truth be told, I explained well before Youness fought that the supplies given to use to secure the hands and ensure they would not break during the course of the fight were not professional enough.  Youness fought anyways, winning his Semifinal fight, despite the broken hand–which ultimately made it impossible for him to continue into the Finals—which I feel he would have been the favorite to win.

Next week is Tariq’s finale fight—which I hope everyone is excited to see!
