After dropping a unanimous decision to Halil Amir
in his promotional debut, Abevi has rebounded to score back-to-back

has been victorious in eight of his nine professional appearances
overall.
Kazakhstan’s Mamedov will take a 6-0 make into his first ONE

victories inside of a round, including a stoppage of one-time UFC
competitor Will Chope
this past December.
