Recently signed Youssef Zalal is one of the few Moroccans on the UFC roster. Zalal (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) got the short-notice call to face fellow debutant Austin Lingo at UFC 247, scoring a  unanimous decision win to open up the night. He is one of three Moroccans currently in the UFC, joining brothers Abu and Ottman Azaitar, who also made good on their promotional debuts. With the rise of MMA in Africa, led by Nigerian champions Israel Adesanya and Kamaru Usman, Zalal sees the UFC making a trip to Morocco someday soon
