Pioneer Emirati Fighter Zamzam Al Hammadi Eyes Major Improvements After Historic PFL Debut

UAE fighter Zamzam Al Hammadi is eager to return to the cage following her historic milestone in May. As the first Emirati woman to compete under the Professional Fighters League banner, the 18-year-oid secured a unanimous victory over Aber Mansour in an amateur bout, bringing her unbeaten MMA record to 3-0 after dominating the first two rounds.

Despite the win, Zamzam acknowledged the need for athletic adjustments, noting that her striking and cardio require more gym time. Aiming to secure finishes much faster than her usual final-minute victories, she remains focused on her evolution as a pioneer for Emirati female fighters.

Having already claimed gold medals in jiu-jitsu at the JJIF World Youth Championship and consecutive golds at the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation Youth World Championship in 2023 and 2024, Zamzam has her sights set on turning professional and capturing a PFL title for herself and her country.

While her next bout is not yet scheduled, Zamzam promised a massive performance upgrade and offered an inspiring message to young girls pursuing their own dreams despite facing barriers.
