Joel acknowledge that Hasbullah is a tough opponent. But he has come well prepared. He is polishing his ground game with Antonio Battistessa with more complicated Luta Livre move and brushing up on his kicks and boxing. Joel is confident that wherever the fight go, ground or stand up, he can dominate.
In Jesselton Fight League (JFL) Semi-finals match he went against the odds by winning vs the highly touted Ahmadjon Karimov from Gymbox Kuching. Hasbullah then progress to the grand finals in Oct 2015, and fought a crazy round of war vs Sabahan muaythai specialist, Dean Hamsah to emerge as the winner for the Bantamweight belt.
Then he further add to his collection the medals of Bantamweight champion from Borneo Amateur Challenge – Labuan in Jan 2016.
Hasbullah’s journey in MIMMA was not as successful as in season 3, he stumbled in the ladder match, but this year he manage to reach semi-finals. Hasbullah explained that in Season 3, his lack of grappling skills was the cost of his lost.
But after that lost, he focus on his ground game, learning earnestly BJJ from Allen Solomon Chong and Luta Livre from his coach at that time Mohd Bakri of Keningau MMA, he also took seminar of Luta Livre from Coach Antonio Battistessa of Sabah Top Team.
The improvement of his ground game is significant as can be seen from his victory in JFL, and Fight Fest 2. Even though he manage to improve on his MIMMA journey this year, but Hasbullah was not really happy with his performance. As this year he has venture out on his own. He now is in charge of Team karabaw Keningau branch.
Setting up the Karabaw branch, coaching and recruiting new members took up much of his time and he didn’t have the time to train for his own fight. But now that Karabaw Keningau is up and running, Hasbullah have more time to focus on himself.
He promise that the old Hasbullah will be back and will put up a show for fight fans to enjoy.
Come and watch Joel vs Hasbullah. It’s going to be a action pack weekend , don’t miss out Fight Fest 3 at Suria Sabah.
