Fabia Sintes
Get it to the mat and keep it there. Four submission wins, two of them in the last sixteen months and both in a third round — he does not need the choke early, he needs the fight to still be his at the ten-minute mark.
Four submission wins in eleven — 36% — including a rear-naked choke at 3:11 of the third five months ago. Aljarouj has never been submitted, but he has also not faced a dedicated choke hunter in three striking-first years.
Zero knockout losses in fourteen professional fights, against an opponent whose entire case is a 54% knockout rate. The one thing Aljarouj does best is the one thing that has never worked on Sintes.
He fought on March 28, 2026. Aljarouj's last cage time was April 2025 and it was overturned to a No Contest; his last decisive result was November 2024, twenty-two months out.
His two most recent submissions arrived at 3:11 and 4:34 of the third round. Aljarouj's only stoppage loss arrived 53 seconds into a third round.
Four of eleven wins on the cards. If the neck never appears, banking rounds on control is a path he has already walked three times in this streak.
- 1Pressure to the fence immediately
Do not trade at range with a man who ended Pedro Nobre in seventy seconds. Cut the cage, get the body lock, and make it a wrestling match from the first minute.
- 2Hunt the back, not the takedown
Three of his four submissions are rear-naked chokes. The body lock to the back is the sequence, and it scores control time even when the choke never arrives.
- 3Spend rounds one and two buying round three
Both of his recent submissions came after ten minutes of work. Grinding is not a fallback here — it is the setup.
- 4Tax the layoff
Seventeen months out of the cage is a cardio question nobody can answer for Aljarouj, including Aljarouj. Make the first round expensive.
- 5Take the decision if it is there
Four career wins on the cards. Twenty-two of his 52 win-shares are decisions — the biggest single bucket on his side of the page.
