Elias Mahmoudi Shares Throwback Pic With Teammate Brice Delval

Elias "The Sniper" Mahmoudi celebrates his win over Lerdsila by rocking his cap

Elias “The Sniper” Mahmoudi was feeling a bit nostalgic on Wednesday, as he shared a throwback photo that shows how far he and fellow Alergian Brice “The Truck” Delval have come in their martial arts journeys.

Mahmoudi, a multiple-time Muay Thai World Champion, shared the classic photo – which he paired with a current-day picture – to show the contrast between where they were and where they are today.

The Mahmoudi Gym teammates have matured into top strikers who both compete in The Home Of Martial Arts and strive for ONE Super Series World Title gold.

Meanwhile, the Instagram post was not only intended to show the two Algerians’ progression as competitors, but also to highlight the loyalty and faith within Mahmoudi Gym.

Both stars are dedicated to their craft, and their development since childhood has turned them into examples for other up-and-coming athletes to follow.
