The veteran of 47 mixed martial arts contests will aim to take a step toward the ONE Welterweight World Championship with a win against a man who made a big impression in his last bout.

Kyrgyzstan’s Abbasov scored a stunning first-round submission of Agilan “Alligator” Thani in December, which established him as one of the division’s top contenders.

Another win against a superstar of the sport should see him enter World Title contention.

ONE: FOR HONOR will also boast a stacked undercard of action, featuring some of the most talented Indonesian heroes competing in front of their countrymen at the Istora Senayan.

The full card is listed below.
