“I’m always looking for a knockout”

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai contender Abdulla Dayakaev of Russia guarantees another epic showcase in his main event billing at ONE Fight Night 39.

On Jan. 23, ‘Smash Boy’ will trade heavy leather with the surging Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon inside ‘The Mecca of Muay Thai’ Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Dayakaev has been one of the most electrifying strikers in the home of martial arts following a fearsome 8-1 promotional run that includes six violent finishes.

His most recent victim was Nontachai Jitmuangnon, where he notched the fastest finish in ONE Championship featherweight Muay Thai history at just 24 seconds into Round 1.

The Team Mehdi Zatout representative also went through Sibmuen in just 35 seconds at ONE Friday Fights 92.

Speaking to ONE Championship ahead of his first match in 2026, Dayakaev vowed to give fans a spectacle each time he enters the global stage.

“In all my fights, I come for the knockout. I’m always looking for a knockout. I’m coming for another bonus. Don’t close your eyes. Never close your eyes when I fight.”

Meanwhile, Rambolek brings a serious threat to Dayakaev’s streak, having won his last four contests as well. The Superbon Training Camp affiliate is also known for his destructive power, which could equal that of the Dagestani mauler.

Abdulla Dayakaev says Rambolek isn’t anything out of the ordinary

Abdulla Dayakaev doesn’t see anything special in his ONE Fight Night 39 counterpart Rambolek.

The Dagestani destroyer is confident that his power and killer instincts remain superior to the Thai star.

Also, ‘Smash Boy’ believes he already studied Rambolek’s tendencies. He told ONE:

“Rambo is the same as other Thai fighters. I think my power and my [timing] are better. I know his style. I watched him fight with my teammates.”
