Coming from Jordan straight to the ADXC cage, Yara Kakish will bring the well-rounded toolset that made her a household name in the AJP.
After interviewing in the tournament’s first edition, Yara decided to trade the mic for her familiar gi and will be ready to fight for glory on the organization’s battlefield. It is worth to know that Yara is one of the best Arabic players in the brown/black divisions of AJP.
