Chattanooga Shooter Muhammad Abdulazeez's Cage Fighting Past
By James King, July 16, 2015 Vocativ
Chattanooga killer Muhammad Abdulazeez was an avid cage-fighter who competed in local MMA tournaments, according to video posted on Youtube. The man suspected of killing four marines in Tennessee on Thursday can be seen taking on an opponent in a brutal cage fight during a mixed martial arts event in Chattanooga in 2009. Abdulazeez defeated Timmy Hall with a TKO in the second round.
Abdulazeez, 24, was identified by federal authorities as the shooter in Thursday’s deadly attack at a military recruitment center that left four U.S. Marines dead. Vocativ has learned from friends and acquaintances that he was a high school wrestler at Red Bank High School in Hamilton County, Tennessee.
