MANILA, Philippines -- The return of Filipino mixed martial artist Carlos Alvarez inside the ONE ring will have to wait.
Alvarez, who was originally set to compete on October 4, will fight at a later date after his opponent, Russia’s Mirza Aliev, withdrew from the match due to “health issues.”
The two were set to tussle in a featherweight MMA bout at ONE Friday Fights 82 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
“The Limitless”, instead, will face another opponent at a different date.
The 25-year-old Team Lakay stalwart is holding a 3-1 win-loss record. His last fight in the ONE ring came on December 1 last year, where he fell via technical knockout against Nachyn Sat.
The Friday Fights 82 card will be main evented by a bantamweight muay thai match between Yod-Iq Or Pimolsri and Abdulla Dayakaev.
Denkriangkrai Singha Mawynn and Sanpet Sor Salacheep will also bang it out in a catchweight muay thai bout.
