Luis Santos has yet to make ONE FC debut, but already he’s got his eyes on the organization’s welterweight championship. Santos (60-9-1) wants to get his hands on 170-pound kingpin Ben Askren (14-0), but first he must emerge victorious against Bakhtiyar Abbasov (12-3) in his promotional debut at ONE FC 22. The event takes place Friday and streams via online pay-per-view at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. “With a couple of victories, I could already be fighting for Ben Askren’s belt,” Santos told MMAjunkie. “That’s why I’ve been working hard on my wrestling.” Abbasov suffered a first-round submission loss to Askren in May and will serve as a solid barometer for Santos’ potential of dethroning the champion.
