Maurice Abevi vs. Samat Mamedov is back on the ONE calendar.
Initially scheduled for ONE 168 in September, Abevi (8-1) and Mamedov (10-0) will now collide Jan. 24 at ONE 170 at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, promotion officials recently informed MMA Junkie.
The first booking between the two fighters was canceled due to an injury to Mamedov.
Abevi rides a two-fight winning streak into the matchup. He most recently competed in May when he defeated UFC alum Lipeng Zhang by unanimous decision. Prior to that, Abevi finished Blake Cooper, brother of PFL standout Ray Cooper III, by first-round TKO.
