Undefeated Turkish MMA sensation 'No Mercy' Halil Amir will be making his featherweight debut in ONE Championship this weekend, and the 29-year-old has enlisted the aid of none other than MMA legend Khabib Nurmagomedov to help him prepare for battle.

Amir is set to lock horns with fellow unbeaten warrior Akbar Abdullaev at ONE Fight Night 22: Sundell vs. Diachkova on Prime Video.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free on Friday, May 3rd, U.S. primetime, with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.

Amir was seen in the gym with Nurmagomedov recently, as the two spent some time working out together.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, the Turkish star talked about training with 'The Eagle'.

The 29-year-old said:

"Khabib did several training sessions. For me, it was a very good experience. He has hard training at his school."

Will the work Amir put in with Khabib be enough to produce another spectacular victory at ONE Fight Night 22? Only time will tell.
