UFC Seattle video: Yousri Belgaroui violently dismantles Mansur Abdul-Malik
You can tell Yousri Belgaroui is Alex Pereira's teammate.
Yousri Belgaroui took a few attempts to prove himself to the UFC brass, but now that he's in the promotion, he's proven to have been a proper addition. At UFC Fight Night 271 on Saturday, Belgaroui (10-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) played with his food before he ate it as he picked up opponent Mansur Abdul-Malik (9-1-1 MMA, 3-1-1 UFC) with leg kicks before a big knee to the body ended the fight at 3:39 of Round 3. The middleweight bout took place on the main card at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

Prior to Saturday's loss, Abdul-Malik had picked up a lot of momentum of his own, finishing Dusko Todorovic, Nick Klein and Antonio Trocoli, while also fighting to a draw vs.
