Abreu was initially targeted to face Gadzhimurad Antigulov on June 13, 2020 at UFC Kazakhstan.[14] Subsequently, the Kazakhstan event was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] As a result, Abreu was rescheduled to face Jamahal Hill on May 30, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns.[16] He initially lost the fight via technical knockout in the first round, but the fight was later overturned on September 3 because Hill tested positive for marijuana.[17]
