"The most important fight of my entire life" - Mohamed Younes Rabah on do-or-die clash against Eddie Abasolo
Mohamed Younes Rabah only sees victory for himself when he clashes against Eddie Abasolo at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug'.
The Team Mehdi Zatout representative is all fired up to get back into the win column after suffering a devastating first-round knockout to former Thai rival Saemapetch Fairtex last February.
After struggling to manage his weight in the division, the dedicated striker made the tough decision to move up from bantamweight to featherweight, (a 10-pound difference), to try his luck in a heavier division.
Juxstaposed with his training at the Venum Facility in Thailand, Mohamed Younes Rabah is thrilled to change the course of his Muay Thai career with a triumphant finish over a well-known name.
Speaking to ONE Championship ahead of ONE 169, 'The Eagle' said:
"This is the most important fight of my entire life. I have to win. I am hungrier than him. I trained very hard."
Mohamed Younes Rabah has so much more to show than the last couple fights he had with Saemapetch. Having eight months to train, is more than enough time to showcase his best skills on the world stage.
Last year, he demonstrated great punching power after knocking out Saemapetch in his debut fight, so that's exactly the type of approach and aggression he needs to keep a guy like Abasolo in check.
ONE 169 airs live from Bangkok, Thailand, via Prime Video for North American subscribers.
