Two fighters of Filipino descent are set for their mixed martial arts comeback in March.
Filipino-Kiwi Mark Abelardo and Fil-Indonesian Aziz Calim were included in the fight card of ONE: Fists of Fury II at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on March 5.
Abelardo will lock horns with American opponent Emilio Urrutia in the bantamweight division while Calim will clash with Roshan Mainam of India in the flyweight bout.
Abelardo, who holds a 19-8 record, seeks to put himself back in the bantamweight frame after suffering three defeats in his last five fights since February 2019.
Last year was unfortunate for the 29-year-old Fil-Kiwi fighter, losing to American Troy Worthen via unanimous decision in February before yielding to Fabricio Andrade of Brazil by way of submission in July.
