10 Welterweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2022

Jarrah Hussein “Jordanian Lion” Al-Silawi

29 | 5’11″ | Amman, Jordan | 16-3 | 11 finishes | 6 KO/TKOs, 5 Submission’s (3 Kimura’s, RNC, Triangle) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 133-33 | Best Win – Ismail Naurdiev (20-4)

Al-Silawi has an awesome resume. Ismail Naurdiev may be his best win but he also has wins over Carl Booth, David Bear, Carlston Harris, Abdoul Abdouraguimov, and other good fighters. He’s the current Brave CF super welterweight champion. His three losses have come against fighters Al-Silawi has also beaten himself; he’s 1-1 against all three opponents who have got the better of him.

On the feet, once Al-Silawi gets warmed up, he’s a skilled striker. I like the way he kicks the legs after combinations. His striking defense could be better and so could his takedown defense but I think he’s at his best on the mat. He has five submissions and can threaten from both on the top and bottom. Hussein has good jiu-jitsu and while he is a bit more of a slower fighter, he has good technique. His record speaks for its self.
