For their first time, four Senegalese wrestling champions are involved with Éric Favre Nation Mma, this Saturday, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. They are Serigne Ndiaye 2 (Fass – Ndakaru), Alboury (Sa Ndiambour), Ada Fass (Fass-Benno) and Petit Lô (Rock Énergie), who will face opponents who say they are ready for anything to do to win.
Serigne Ndiaye 2, Alboury, Ada Fass and Petit Lô will be at the front this afternoon in Abidjan. For two months, these fighting champions have been sharpening their weapons together and saying they are ready to honor the Senegalese.
Petit Lô is Modou Lô’s nephew. He meets Israel Mano who is a multidisciplinary Burkinabe fighter born in 1993 in Ouagadougou. He has been working since the age of 10, thanks to two parents who also used the same discipline. Israel Mano also practices judo, English boxing, Thai boxing, taekwondo, kung fu wushu, traditional wrestling, Olympic wrestling, karate, Brazilian jujitsu … He has a record of 3 knockouts in 3 professional fights. It seems that this time is not shaking Petit Lô. “I followed his fights, he uses a lot of kicks. I’m pretty sure I hit it. I have polished my weapons and improved my technical skills. I am ready to inflict his 4th defeat on Israel Mano,” promised the child from Les Parcelles assainies.
Ada Fass will challenge the Ivorian Dominique Dago (30 years old, 1m82, 97 kg). The latter is an MMA champion, who previously won a gold medal in the 100 kg light-heavyweight category. Dominique has yet to fight professionally. But he already knows boxing, as he is the Ivory Coast champion in muay-Thai and is a bronze medalist at the African Games as an amateur. Ada Fass has no experience in this fight. He relies on his experience in strike fighting and “mbapatt” to dictate his law to his rival. “I’m a young man who has big ambitions in this sport. I am not new to the practice of MMA, I often went to Spain to train in this sport. Already very young, I trusted those around me that one day I would be a world champion in MMA. Many people are unaware of my skills, they will be surprised when they see my talent growing,” said Fassois.
Serigne Ndiaye 2, who lives in the Fass – Ndakaru stable, will fight with the Cameroonian Fofé Thioffo Pierre-Eric known as Billy Black (31 years old, 115 kg). An expert in Thai boxing and kickboxing, Pierre Fofé has put forward strong arguments. He has a record of 2 fights, 2 wins. Very sure of himself, Serigne Ndaye 2 says he wants “victory, nothing but victory”. The donkey Tapha Guèye de Fass believed that he will do everything to return home successfully. “I’ve always dreamed of practicing MMA. Every year, I only fight one fight in wrestling and it was not suitable for me. Mma allows me to compete regularly. I signed 4 fights with Éric Favre, my goal is to be the best,” he said.
Alboury will face Koné Kassoum, nicknamed “Kass the Machine”. This Ivorian fighter (37 years old, 1m92) has 3 victories in 3 fights. On Thursday, in Abidjan, journalist Boucar Ndour, who is currently in Ivory Coast, said: “The confrontation between Alboury and Kassoum was very electrifying. We recognize that our partner is facing a very complicated fight.”
This meeting is eagerly awaited by wrestling fans, who pray for their champions and keep hope.
