Youssef Zalal has seen his career do a pretty major 180-degree turnaround the past few years. The 36-year-old Moroccan featherweight won his first three fights in the UFC by decision, but then had three straight decisions losses and a draw and found himself on the outs and trying to get back in. In late 2022, he started a three-fight finish streak for Sparta Combat League and got back to the UFC nine months ago.
