Reigning ONE Welterweight World Champion Kiamrian \u201cBrazen\u201d Abbasov of Novorossiysk, Russia is extremely kind and humble outside of competition, but once the cage door shuts, he turns into a force of destruction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abbasov returns to action this Friday night at ONE: Inside the Matrix II<\/a>, a previously-recorded event in Singapore, scheduled for air on 6 November. \u201cBrazen\u201d will defend his title against highly-touted undefeated American James Nakashima in what should be a high-level affair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Motivated and hungry for victory, Abbasov is looking to make a statement in what he believes will be an exciting back-and-forth battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel great. I\u2019m a hundred percent charged for this fight, and I can\u2019t wait to enter the Circle,\u201d said Abbasov. <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m ready to go to war and I will do everything for the sake of victory. The result will be from Allah Almighty! I know my strengths, and I\u2019m very hungry and motivated. I can\u2019t wait to satiate the feelings of this hunger. I know at the end of the night, I will still be the champion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kiamrian<\/p>\n

Against Nakashima, Abbasov faces an extremely confident fighter and a Legacy Fighting Alliance Welterweight Champion with an unblemished professional record. Nakashima is a former collegiate wrestler and striking stylist with gold on his mind, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abbasov, however, knows exactly the sort of danger a fighter like Nakashima poses, having faced the top talents in his division. He\u2019s done his homework and studied Nakashima\u2019s style, and believes he has the right game plan to achieve victory and retain his title.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJames is a tough guy, and he knows how to wrestle well. But I won\u2019t just stand still in there. I am constantly moving. I\u2019ve worked very hard on my wrestling and grappling over the last few months, so let\u2019s see who\u2019s the better man on fight night,\u201d said Abbasov.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have no comment about James. He\u2019s a good fighter, and his record speaks for itself. Being undefeated means he\u2019s a high level fighter, and there is no doubt in my mind that he deserves this fight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kiamrian Abbasov vs. James Nakashima welterweight showdown serves as the ONE: Inside the Matrix II main event offering, but other compelling martial arts contests will also feature on the show, including a showdown between top-ranked lightweights Pieter Buist and Timofey Nastyukhin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making his ONE Championship debut in 2018, losing to Luis Santos by decision, Abbasov has certainly come into his own. He has since been on a tear, railing off four straight victories, including massive wins against former UFC star Yushin \u201cThunder\u201d Okami, and the always-tough Zebaztian Kadestam to claim the title a year ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kadestam fight in particular allowed Abbasov to realize a few things within himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my fight against Zebaztian Kadestam, I was in for a big test. It was a test for me whether I could handle 25 minutes of being in there fighting a real killer. I realized in that fight, that I\u2019m the real killer!\u201d said Abbasov. <\/span>\u201cMy ONE debut didn\u2019t go the way I wanted, but with the Will of Allah Almighty, He gave me all of my strengths, including my weaknesses, and I came back stronger. I always prepare myself the same way, as if I\u2019m facing the strongest fighter ever, no matter who it is. That is the way I approach every fight.”<\/span><\/p>\n
