The veteran of 47 mixed martial arts contests will aim to take a step toward the ONE Welterweight World Championship with a win against a man who made a big impression in his last bout.
Kyrgyzstan’s Abbasov scored a stunning first-round submission of Agilan “Alligator” Thani in December, which established him as one of the division’s top contenders.
Another win against a superstar of the sport should see him enter World Title contention.
