Since leaving his job a year and a half ago, Faudel Bentayeb has devoted himself fully to MMA. Convinced that he can reach new heights, the 22-year-old is active in the cage with his next outing scheduled for August 4 at Béziers Arena.

In the mind of Faudel Bentayeb, the direction is clear, and the path well marked : “I want to get to the top as quickly as possible, and excel in a big organization.”
With the passion and abandonment of youth, the 22-year-old Parisian is running headlong into an MMA career for which he has already made many sacrifices.
“A year and a half ago, I stopped working, and today I dedicate my life to martial arts. Inevitably, it was a difficult decision to make, because you never know what might happen, and I’m not sure that I’ll succeed.
In terms of his support, on the other hand, the pill went down well.
“My father is a boxing coach, he coaches a lot of amateurs, but also professionals. So as a sportsman, he understood straight away! “

“I quickly saw that it was made for me”

Moreover, it is precisely through his father that Faudel Bentayeb discovered martial arts. Introduced to the noble art in the family club, the young man took a liking to it at the age of five, and continues, even now, to attend his father’s classes. But that’s not all.
“In addition to boxing, I’ve always done judo. I’m a black belt. Except after a while, it frustrated me. In judo, you can’t throw your fists, and in boxing, you can’t use your feet. So MMA was the perfect solution, I quickly saw that it was made for me.
Symbolic of his determination to reach the top, Faudel Bentayeb is already accumulating experience in the cage, when his career has only just begun. In 2023, he has already fought three times, and does not intend to stop here.
« My goal is simple: to fight, avoid injuries, and make a living from my sport. »
