Kade Ruotolo's next MMA test is reportedly the toughest name he has faced. According to MMA Fighting, the 23-year-old grappling champion returns to ONE on Dec. 18 in Bangkok against Ok Rae Yoon, the man who took the ONE lightweight title in 2021.
Ruotolo still holds the ONE submission grappling belt, but his focus has moved to MMA. He has won four fights in Asia, all by finish. The first three ended in tapouts. His latest, a second-round knockout of Hiroyuki Tetsuka, showed a striking side that his earlier fights hadn't.
Yoon is a veteran with 17 wins in 24 professional bouts. His 2021 title run included wins over Eddie Alvarez and Christian Lee. He arrives on a two-fight skid, though, having lost decisions to Alibeg Rasulov and Lucas Gabriel. Both losses went the distance, so he has been hard to finish even in defeat. That makes him a different kind of opponent from the four men Ruotolo has put away so far.
Abevi vs. Dzhabrailov: Cageside Press reports, citing sources, that Maurice Abevi and Dzhabir Dzhabrailov will meet at welterweight at Lumpinee Stadium. Abevi (9-1) is 3-1 in ONE, with finishes of Blake Cooper and Samat Mamedov. Dzhabrailov (7-0) has four ONE wins, all finishes: Eduardo Freitas, Khusan Urakov, Nicolas Vigna and Chase Mann. With an unbeaten record against a fighter who finishes opponents, one of them will take a serious hit.
The card so far also lists Suablack Tor vs. Jordan Estupian and Bampara Kouyate vs. Ricardo Bravo. Watch for ONE to confirm both main bouts and add to the lineup.
