Nicolau, entering with a record marred by loss via knockout to Alex Perez earlier in April this year, looks to bounce back against Almabaev who secured a win by decision against Jose Johnson. Both fighters compete actively in the Flyweight division, standing nearly similar in stats but with slightly varied experiences; Almabaev is just one win ahead of Nicolau. This sets the stage for an unpredictable tussle between Nicolau’s resolve to overturn his recent defeat and Almabaev’s drive to prolong his victory string.
