Abdulla Dayakaev has issued a stark warning ahead of his bantamweight Muay Thai main event clash with Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon at ONE Fight Night 39 on January 24: this fight will end in a knockout, and fans won't want to miss a single second.
The Russian striker will face the Thai contender at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and he's leaving no doubt about his intentions inside the ring.
"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," the Team Mehdi Zatout representative declared.
Dayakaev's finishing record supports his bold promises. The Dagestan-born striker holds an 8-1 promotional mark with six stoppages, demonstrating consistent ability to end fights decisively.
Currently riding a four-fight winning streak, Dayakaev has proven particularly effective against Thai opposition, defeating three fighters from Thailand in his last four outings. That success against hometown favorites gives him confidence heading into hostile territory to face another Thai star.
When analyzing the upcoming matchup, Dayakaev identified specific technical advantages he believes will lead to victory.
"I think my power and my [timing] are better. I know his style. He's kind of good with kicks, right punches, and sometimes, elbows. But I think my boxing is best in the bantamweight division," Dayakaev explained.
The claim to possess the division's best boxing represents a direct challenge to Rambolek's striking credentials, particularly notable given the Thai fighter trains under legendary ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon and Muay Thai legend Nong-O Hama at Superbon Training Camp.
While focused on the immediate challenge, Dayakaev acknowledges the bigger picture — a potential title shot against ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane awaits the winner of this high-stakes main event.
"I think I deserve maybe the title shot also, but I will wait. Maybe next I will fight for the belt or even the interim title. But now I have a goal to finish Rambo," the Russian stated.
