Jameel Massouh to replace Zac George on Adrenaline MMA show


Jameel Massouh of Dave Strasser’s Freestyle Academy has replaced an injured Zac George, who himself had replaced UFC veteran Alberto Crane. Massouh will face off against Clay French on this Saturday’s Adrenaline MMA show in Hoffman Estates, IL. The show will take place at the Sears Centre and will be headlined by a fight between Mike Russow and Jason Guida.

Jameel Massouh, also referred to as “The Sergeant”, sports a (16-3) record and is riding a two-fight win streak. He is coming off a unanimous decision win over a very tough Myles Merola of British Columbia in March. The fight took place in the Hardcore Championship Fighting organization in Quebec, Canada and was headlined by David Loiseau. It was believed Massouh may have earned himself a ticket back to organization’s next show in May, which was to be headlined by Renato Sobral, but the organization dissolved prior to the event happening.

Massouh’s opponent, Clay French sports an MMA record of (14-2) and holds wins over Pride FC and KOTC veteran Jason Ireland. He also holds a split decision win over Ultimate Fighter season six champion, Mac Danzig. He’s won seven-straight fights, all of which took place in 2007. His last defeat was in Pride FC, where he lost via flying triangle choke to Shinya Aoki in November of 2006 at Bushido 13. French trains with Matt Hughes at the (Hughes Intensive Training) or Hit Squad Gym in Granite City, Illinois. His teammates and coaches also include Robbie Lawler, Tommy Speer, Matt Pena, and Marc Fiore.
