ONE recently uploaded a carousel of videos of the technical prowess displayed by 'Silky Smooth' since coming on board the promotion in 2022. Featured were his spirited exchanges with top fighters Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, Luke Lessei, Niclas Larsen and Liam Nolan, which had his opponents reeling from his telling hits.

The IG post of ONE Championship was to spotlight Eddie Abasolo as he plunges back into action at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Nov. 8 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. He will take on Algerian fighter Mohamed Younes Rabah in a featured featherweight Muay Thai showdown.
The match is part of the stacked event which will be aired live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Eddie Abasolo says preparation went well for his upcoming fight at ONE 169
Eddie Abasolo is confident that he is coming into ONE 169 against Mohamed Younes Rabah ready and able after his preparation went without a hitch.
The 38-year-old Vallejo, California native shared this in an interview with the 4oz to Freedom podcast, highlighting how everything they set out to do in camp, they were able to do.
He said:
"Camp has been super smooth, you know. I've been feeling just the right amount of [it] every day, you know what I mean? Sprints, conditioning, pad work, bag work, Man, I'm in there. I'm in it."
Prior to ONE 169, Abasolo was in action back in February in Thailand against fellow American Luke Lessei, who he took to the limit before narrowly losing by split decision.
