Surging Swiss standout is continuing to level up his game ahead of his pivotal lightweight MMA showdown with undefeated Russian destroyer at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The contenders will lock horns on June 6 in U.S. primetime at as they each aim to earn a shot at divisional kingpin .
After dropping a hard-fought decision loss in his promotional debut, Abevi has rattled off a trio of lopsided victories, most recently handing the first defeat of his career with a first-round stoppage.
Clearly, Abevi is at the top of his game. The 25-year-old told that his momentum has given him plenty of confidence 바카라 and that he바카라s only improving from fight to fight:
바카라I feel amazing. I feel like my mind is in the right place. I love the process of training and getting better and seeing results. I바카라m just riding the wave. I바카라m doing my best every day, and that바카라s where the results are coming from.
바카라The people are seeing the developments from me every time I get in there. I바카라m just a good fighter, and you can바카라t deny me.바카라
With his unique blend of dynamic striking and elite grappling, Abevi brings a supremely well-rounded approach to the talent-laden lightweight MMA division.
He also knows that his opponent바카라s wrestling and relentless pacing will present a stiff test. After all, Rasulov was the last man to challenge Lee for 26 pounds of gold. Although that bout ended in a no contest due to an accidental eye poke, the unbeaten Turkish star proved that he belongs.
Despite giving credit, Abevi thinks Rasulov can sometimes be recklessly aggressive 바카라 a trait he hopes to exploit at ONE Fight Night 32:
바카라I think his strength is his unorthodox style. He has good cardio and good wrestling. He바카라s overall very well put together and fights for every position well. But I think he overextends himself sometimes, and that바카라s where I바카라ll capitalize.
바카라I think I바카라m more controlled than him. He바카라s more chaotic and dangerous, but that also makes him exploitable.바카라
Ultimately, Abevi is confident that he바카라s the man to hand Rasulov his first loss.
In terms of tactics and strategy, the Swiss fighter plans to drag his foe into deep waters and finish him in the final five minutes:
바카라I think I can expose some holes in his game that nobody else has been able to, and I바카라m excited to show that.
바카라I think I바카라ll stop him in the third round by TKO. I think it바카라s just a matter of time to break him down across the earlier rounds, then I바카라ll stop him in the third round.바카라
Abevi Says Cardio Is Key Against Rasulov
Considering Maurice Abevi바카라s prediction of a late-round finish against Alibeg Rasulov, it바카라s no surprise that he바카라s invested more time and energy into his fitness.
To that end, Abevi has enlisted the help of a professional to monitor his overall physical conditioning, and he바카라s already seeing the benefits:
바카라I have a new strength and conditioning and physio coach called Fabian. He helps me with injury prevention, cardio training.
바카라That바카라s a piece of the puzzle that I바카라ve added for this camp, and I can already notice how much progress has come from it.바카라
Both Rasulov and Abevi have proven themselves capable of maintaining a high-octane pace for a full 15 minutes of combat.
Abevi, though, is determined to be the more conditioned athlete on June 6:
바카라Rasulov is known for his energy levels, so I have to keep mine up. I have proven I can dig deep and go into the later rounds already, but I want to be able to go even better for even longer.바카라
