Summary:

While the stats heavily favor Hamdy Abdelwahab, it’s important to consider context. He returned in February after a massive layoff, and his current numbers—though impressive—should be taken with a grain of salt due to limited and potentially inflated sample size. That said, if those metrics hold true, Abdelwahab’s superior accuracy, defense, and dominant grappling could make him a serious problem for Mohammed Usman.
