ONE Championship continues to bolster the ONE 168 lineup for their return to Denver, Colorado, on Friday, September 6.
In MMA action, lightweights Maurie Abevi and Samat Mamedov will tussle inside the Circle.
After dropping his ONE debut to Halil Amir, Abevi has shown himself to be a solid lightweight forced in two follow-up matches.
The Swiss athlete notched impressive wins over Blake Cooper and Zhang Lipeng. When Abevi walks down the aisle inside Ball Arena, he will hope to stake his claim as a legitimate threat to the gold by putting together a highlight-reel finish.
Mamedov makes his promotional debut sporting a perfect 10-0 record. Perhaps more impressive than the unblemished marks is that nine wins occurred in the first round.
The exciting lightweight scrap could be a dark horse for Fight of the Night.
Muay Thai firepower will excite the Denver crowd as Johan Estupinan meets Sean Climaco in a flyweight showdown.
Estupinan burst onto the scene with a 27-second knockout over Kouta Omori at ONE Friday Fights 64. Two weeks later, he added another win by defeating Zafer Sayik by unanimous decision.
Climaco will look to slow his rise and show that American Muay Thai is ready to make a mark in ONE with a knockout of his own.
In his organizational debut, Climaco ousted Josue Cruz inside the first round. When he returns to the global stage for his second outing, the American expects to feel more comfortable and perform even better.
ONE 168: Denver airs live on Friday, September 6, from the Ball Arena at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Prime Video.
