WATCH: Omran Chaaban Scores Body Shot KO at UAE Warriors 23

Omran “The Lebanese Gorilla” Chaaban scored a beautiful body-shot KO over Kher Khalifa Eshoushan this afternoon at UAE Warriors 23 in Abu Dhabi.

After a back and forth first round that established a clear striker vs grappler scenario, Chaaban began to put the pressure on Eshoushan in the striking exchanges. Already likely two rounds down on the judges’ scorecards, Eshoushan was deducted a point by the referee due to an eye poke, having already been warned for his extended fingers earlier in the contest.

The eye poke seemed to enrage Chaaban, who came out like a man possessed once the action resumed. The 21-year-old Team KF welterweight unleashed a barrage of strikes, ultimately stopping his opponent with a combination of body shots with 2:30 left on the clock in round 3.
