Ben Saddik, a Belgian Moroccan, is a product of the Golden Glory gym and is a student of Cor Hemmers.
He made his debut in the It's Showtime promotion on March 6, 2011 at Fightingstars presents: It's Showtime Sporthallen Zuid and beat Rico Verhoeven. He was then scheduled to fight Anderson Silva at Fightclub presents: It's Showtime 2011 on May 21, 2011, but the bout was scrapped when Silva was instead moved to the It's Showtime 2011 Lyon card to fight Daniel Ghiță.
He TKO'd Vitaly Oparin in round one at United Glory 15 on March 23, 2012, and followed this up with a fourth round KO of Nikolaj Falin on June 2, 2012.
Ben Saddik lost a decision to Jahfarr Wilnis at Glory 2: Brussels on October 6, 2012.
But, despite this setback, he was invited to compete at Glory 4: Tokyo - 2012 Heavyweight Grand Slam, the biggest heavyweight tournament in kickboxing history, on December 31, 2012. He upset world #4 Errol Zimmerman at the opening stage, taking a decision. In the quarter-finals, he beat Remy Bonjasky on points, but lost via a quick body kick from Daniel Ghiță in the semis. Despite coming back from the tournament empty-handed, Ben Saddik's stock rose greatly by beating two much higher-rated fighters.
