Ibrahim Dauev vs Mark Abelardo Prediction: Two finalists will please the fans

On the night of January 13, Moscow time, Thailand will host the ONE tournament, in which five Russian fighters will take part at once. In one of the fights, Ibragim Dauev will face Mark Abelardo to the ring in New Zealand. 

The young Russian fighter made a name for himself in the ACA Young Eagles league, winning seven fights in a row, six of them by decision. Ibrahim is a versatile fighter, winning both by knockout and submissions, and in his last fight, he beat Nadyr Aliev.

Mark Abelardo has been competing at ONE since 2018, has fought here twelve times, and has had seven wins. The New Zealander wins most often by knockout, and in his last two confrontations, he beat Taron Grigoryan and Georgy Shakhruramazanov.

Two striking finishers will meet in the ring, each of whom has developed. Dauev has spent the last few years easily beating everyone he's been given, while Abelardo has managed to restart his career, as evidenced by his two crazy wins in his last two confrontations.
