Domination MMA Management was founded and is currently managed by Ali Abdelaziz, who is one of the most well-known MMA managers in the world. As such, Abdelaziz represents some of the best mixed martial artists in the world. This includes the likes of Kamaru Usman, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, and Henry Cejudo, to name a few.
Abdelaziz is also the manager of the former PFL lightweight champion Kayla Harrison and the former featherweight champion Lance Palmer. Hence, Abdelaziz’s influence and expertise in the MMA world cannot be denied and are held in high regard. Recently, Abdelaziz shocked the MMA world by announcing his pound-for-pound best fighter from France.
On Twitter, Abdelaziz tweeted, “Good morning, France let’s do some media France.” Subsequently, MMA fighter Salahdine Parnasse replied to his tweet. Abdelaziz responded to Parnasse’s tweet by stating, “@SalahdineP pound for pound best fighter in France no one is close.”
Fans were shocked by Abdelaziz’s bold statement because there are several other accomplished MMA fighters from France. His statement dismissed fighters like the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and the former GLORY welterweight champion Cedric Doumbe. However, it is a misconception to assume that all the better fighters are from the UFC. In spite of being the most popular MMA promotion in the world.
Parnasse is currently 25 years old and is an active MMA fighter at KSW, a huge European MMA promotion company. Furthermore, Parnasse made his professional MMA debut in 2015 and has a record of 18 victories and 1 loss.
The reason Ali Abdelaziz considers Salahdine Parnasse the best French fighter
Parnasse has had 18 MMA fights in his career at KSW, and he has won eight of them via submission. Moreover, Parnasse has won 3 fights via KO or TKO and won his remaining 8 victories via decision.
Parnasse defeated Daniel Rutkowski in March 2022 to become the featherweight champion of the organization. It was not the end of his amazing performances in the cage as he moved up to the lightweight division. Subsequently, Parnasse won the lightweight championship at KSW 76 in November 2022 after he defeated Sebastian Rajewski.
The fight ended in the 4th round after Parnasse choked his opponent into submission to become the new lightweight champion of the organization. Currently, Paranasse is the double champion in two different weight classes at the KSW. However, Paranasse has now targeted becoming a triple champion by winning the welterweight title next. As such, his accomplishments definitely deserve the praise heaped on him by Ali Abdelaziz.
