With the victory, Abe has now won two straight and is 5-1 over his six most recent appearances. The veteran of four UFC fights was not re-signed following a 1-3 run in the promotion, with his lone octagon win coming in his UFC debut where he picked up a unanimous decision over Hyun Gyu Lim at UFC Fight Night 117 in September 2017.
De Souza has flip-flopped wins and losses over his past six outings.
