Saadeh said: "Signing to BAMMA and fighting on such a big stage is a dream come true. I'm looking forward to showcasing more skills there and of course entertaining with my fights. I feel that BAMMA is the right place for me to step up in my career. I want to thank them for giving me this chance and everyone who has supported me on my way. I'm aiming to win the vacant BAMMA World Flyweight title next year."

BAMMA's Head of Combat Operations, Jude Samuel, said: "Rany is one of the new exciting Flyweight fighters coming out of Europe right now; an all round practitioner of MMA with the hunger to develop within the sport as a top contender. I'm looking forward to working some exciting match-ups for Rany as he makes his home at BAMMA."
