Featherweight Muay Thai sensation Mohamed Younes Rabah is on a mission to reclaim his dominance in the ring after his first career loss. At ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug, scheduled for Friday, November 8, at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Rabah faces off against American fighter Eddie Abasolo. This bout is more than just a fight for The Eagle; it's a chance to prove his resilience and determination.
Rabah stormed into the ONE Championship with an undefeated 13-0 record and made an immediate impact. His first fight with Saemapetch Fairtex showcased his raw skill and hunger to make a name for himself. However, the rematch did not go his way, marking the first defeat of his professional career. Despite the setback, Rabah is more driven than ever, declaring this fight to be his ultimate test and a defining moment.
“That loss broke me, but I came back stronger. I trained very hard for this fight because I think, in this fight, I’m fighting for my life because this fight means a lot to me,” he revealed.
Rabah’s relentless training in his new weight class reflects his unwavering commitment to bounce back. He believes he has the advantage over Abasolo, not just in skill but also in hunger and preparation.
“This is the most important fight of my entire life. I have to win. I am hungrier than him. I trained very hard,” Rabah shared with a steely resolve.
Both Rabah and Abasolo are known for their fierce striking abilities, making this a must-watch battle where any punch or kick could end the night early. Rabah has meticulously studied his opponent’s recent performances and has a clear game plan: he intends to push Abasolo to his limits in the first two rounds, draining his stamina before going in for the finish. Confident in his strategy, he predicted,
“I think this fight will end in the third round via TKO. I will make him tired in the first and second rounds and finish him in the third round.”
Rabah’s journey to redemption at ONE 169 promises to be electrifying as he aims to demonstrate why he’s a force to be reckoned with in featherweight Muay Thai. Fans eagerly await to see if The Eagle will soar back to victory.
