'Uncrowned champion' of ONE Akbar Abdullaev gets new opponent for DWCS

Comments

1. Bruno: think this kid has more talent than most guys in the top 15, wonder what ufc sees in dwcs for him though
2. Ranamaya: think Abdullaev's unorthodox path to the UFC might actually be a blessing in disguise for him - less pressure, more chance to develop his skills
3. Wraith Signal: someone tell me what's going on with his scarf, is that even a traditional color?
4. Kians: what's behind this DWCS stint - is ONE giving him space to explore?
5. Ravi: Dude's skills are legit, but what's the draw here? ONE's a real MMA league
6. Junepetrov: he's got skills but can he deal with western striking?
7. Cleob: i'm still not convinced he's taking this seriously, all that flair doesn't necessarily translate to competition
8. Liam: seen him fight before, think I saw a thread on r/ufc about his ONE background
9. Elin: haven't seen anyone talking about his technique yet, let's keep it on that
10. Nova: don't think he needs this tournament experience to prove himself though
11. Diegovasquez: someone could talk up abdullaev like that in a post and i'm here for it still no idea why he's doing dwcs though
12. Iris: not really sure what's more impressive, his skills or the scarf
13. Liam: he does look like he came from a different fight culture, kinda cool how he's taking on this new challenge though
