Turkish star Halil Amir has had an impressive start to his ONE Championship campaign, winning three of his first four matches since making his promotional debut in October 2022. 'No Mercy' got things going for him in ONE with his ferocious display of striking in knocking out Russian powerhouse Tomofey Nastyukhin in his maiden outing.
He followed that up with a convincing decision victory over Swiss fighter Maurice Abevi in April 2023 and an opening-round TKO of Ahmed Mujtaba seven months later.
ONE Championship uploaded a carousel of videos featuring Halil Amir's finishes on its official Instagram account ahead of his scheduled return to action next month.
Check out the video post below:
Halil Amir will feature at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. He will go up against Shamil Gasanov of Russia in a featherweight MMA clash.
ONE Fight Night 26 will be aired live and for free at U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Halil Amir seeks to bounce back at ONE Fight Night 26
While Halil Amir had a fiery start to his ONE Championship journey, he hit a speed bump after losing in his last fight. Understandably, he is looking to get back to winning ways at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6.
The 30-year-old Antalya native fell to Akbar Abdullaev of Krygyzstan in the second round of their battle at ONE Fight Night 22 in May in Thailand. It effectively reset his push after winning three straight to begin his ONE campaign.
In his upcoming fight, Amir is going up against an opponent in Gasanov who has won back-to-back matches, all by decision, with his most recent win coming back in August 2024 over Aaron Canarte of Ecuador.
