Fight called off
Al-Selwady will no longer face Matheus Camilo in a lightweight bout at UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear why the fight was called off, but this is now Al-Selwady's fourth-straight cancelled bout. He was looking to even his UFC record to 1-1, but he'll have to wait even longer to step back into the Octagon.

Facing Camilo next
Al-Selwady will take on Matheus Camilo in a lightweight bout at UFC 321 on October 25 in Abu Dhabi, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Al-Selwady has had three straight cancelled bouts -- at this point, it would be a win for him simply to partake in an actual fight. Still, he could use an actual win, as he's 0-1 in the UFC, falling in his debut to Loik Radzhabov in March of 2024. His opponent Camilo is also 0-1 in the promotion.

Scheduled for UFC Saudi Arabia
Al-Selwady (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete against Jordan Leavitt in a lightweight fight at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Al-Selwady is the latest addition to a UFC Saudi Arabia card that has already seen several fights added to it. 2024 was not the best year for him, as he was knocked out by Loik Radzhabov and never got his Abu Dhabi bout against Guram Kutateladze materialized.
