Abreu, who battled four athletes from Russia in his last five MMA bouts, is set to take on Gadzhimurad Antigulov at the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Kazahkstan on June 23, multiple sources confirmed to MMA Fighting following a report by Globo.
Antigulov (20-6) hasn’t fought since April 2019, when he lost in 44 seconds to Michau0142 Oleksiejczuk. The former ACB light heavyweight champion went 1-2 in his first appearances in the UFC with all fights ending in the opening stanza.
Abreu (15-4), nicknamed “Russian Terror,” lost a close split decision to Shamil Gamzatov last November.
