“You’re gonna be at the edge of your seat” - Eddie Abasolo tells fans not to blink in his fistfight with Mohamed Younes Rabah

Eddie Abasolo plans to put on a show this Friday when he returns to the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Win or lose, the American Muay Thai standout always gives fight fans a performance to remember.

This weekend will be no different when Abasolo steps back onto martial arts' biggest global stage for a high-stakes clash against Algerian scrapper Mohamed Younes Rabah.

The bout will be just one of multiple can't-miss clashes and ONE Championship delivered the biggest fight card of the year, punctuated by three massive world title fights and one of the best undercards in ONE history.

During a recent interview with Cageside Press, Abasolo promised that come Friday night, fans inside the Mecca of Muay Thai and those watching around the world will be on the edge of their seat when he goes toe-to-toe with Rabah.

"I don’t know, because every fighter has like this 'I got something different' like 'best camp I ever had' and all that kind of stuff," Abasolo said. "This is something that my brother told me. You’re going to pay for a seat, but you’re only gonna need the edge, because you’re gonna be at the edge of your seat the whole time."

Eddie Abasolo and Mohamed Younes Rabah both looking to bounce back after losses in their last outings

Eddie Abasolo and Mohamed Younes Rabah will both be looking to climb back into the win column after coming up short in their last outings.

While Rabah is 1-1 under the ONE banner, splitting back-to-back bouts against Thai legend Saemapetch Fairtex, Abasolo will try to snap a two-fight losing skid after dropping decisions against Sitthichai Sitsonpeenong and Luke Lessei.

Before that, Abasolo earned a highlight-reel knockout against Niclas Larsen, but only after coming up short in his promotional debut against Liam Nolan at ONE on Prime Video 4.

Will Abasolo get a much-needed win at ONE 169, or will Rabah land his 15th career victory and extend the American's winless streak to three?

Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE 169: Malykhin vs. ‘Reug Reug’ live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, Nov. 8 in U.S. primetime.
