Rising Algerian Muay Thai star Mohamed Younes Rabah sees himself finishing American Eddie Abasolo in their scheduled showdown next month. He intends to do it by steadily tearing down his opponent before going for the finish.

'The Eagle' is featured in a featherweight Muay Thai match against 'Silky Smooth' at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Nov. 8. It is part of the marquee event happening at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and airing live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.

As he gears up for his upcoming match, Rabah also shared in an interview with ONE Championship where he wants to take the fight with Abasolo, including how he sees it ending, saying:

"I think this fight will end in the third round via TKO. I will make him tired in the first and second rounds and finish him in the third round."

While Mohamed Younes Rabah is hellbent on bouncing back at ONE 169 on Nov. 8, so does is his opponent, Eddie Abasolo, who has hit a rough patch of late and seeking to wiggle his way out of it.

The Filipino-American striker made this known in a recent Instagram post, vowing to finally turn things around for him in his scheduled match with the Algerian striker. The Vallejo, California, native wrote:

"This one is personal, I owe it to my self, Make sure y'all in, Nov. 8 #ONE169 on @primevideo, you wouldn't wanna miss this! #ONE169 #muaythai #featherweight #fightnight #war"

Abasolo has lost back-to-back matches by decision heading into ONE 169. On both occasions, however, he gave a good account of himself, making his opponents dig deep to survive for the win. The most recent was last February against American Luke Lessei, who he lost to by split decision.
