Maurice Abevi vs Dzhabir Dzhabrailov Set For ONE Fight Night 50 on Dec 18

Maurice Abevi and Dzhabir Dzhabrailov are set to collide at ONE Fight Night 50 on Dec. 18, sources tell Cageside press, and somebody’s momentum is going to take a serious hit.

Abevi brings his dangerous grappling and improving striking into a matchup against an undefeated Dzhabrailov, who has made a habit of putting opponents away before they can get comfortable.

With nine combined finishes between them, this welterweight showdown has all the ingredients for an absolute barnburner at Lumpinee Stadium. One guy wants to prove he belongs among the division’s best, while the other is looking to keep his perfect record intact. Something’s gotta give.

Abevi (9-1) has put together a solid 3-1 run in ONE Championship, picking up finishes over Blake Cooper and Samat Mamedov along the way. The well-rounded Swiss welterweight brings a dangerous grappling game to the table, complemented by an ever-improving striking arsenal that makes him a threat wherever the fight goes. He’s certainly not a one trick pony, and anyone expecting an easy night against Abevi might find themselves in for a rude awakening.

Dzhabrailov (7-0) has been nothing short of a wrecking ball throughout his undefeated professional career, racking up four victories under the ONE Championship banner. The explosive pressure fighter has finished Eduardo Freitas, Khusan Urakov, Nicolas Vigna, and Chase Mann, leaving little doubt about his intentions whenever he steps into the cage. Dzhabrailov isn’t exactly interested in collecting scorecards, and if his opponent gives him an opening, he’s more than happy to make it a very short night.

ONE Fight Night 50 goes down on Dec. 18 from Lumpinee Stadium. The card, as of now, is as follows:

• Suablack Tor vs. Jordan Estupian
