Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium will provide the perfect backdrop for a featherweight Muay Thai collision between two of the sport's most exciting young fighters when Nontachai Jitmuangnon faces Abdulla Dayakaev at ONE Fight Night 33.
The 12 July showdown brings elite-level striking to the venue that has hosted countless legendary battles throughout Muay Thai's storied history.
Nontachai enters this bout riding a wave of momentum that began with his impressive Road to ONE: Thailand run. The 26-year-old Thai fighter's four-fight winning streak earned him a coveted spot on ONE's main roster, where he's continued to impress with his unique blend of technical skill and aggressive pressure.
His promotional debut victory over Alessio Malatesta showcased his ability to perform under the bright lights, whilst subsequent wins, including his spectacular knockout of Dmitrii Kovtun, have established him as a legitimate contender in the featherweight division.
Dayakaev brings an equally impressive resume to this contest. Despite being just 23 years old, the Russian has already compiled seven victories in eight ONE appearances, with five coming by way of stoppage. His knockout power has become his calling card, making him one of the most feared strikers in the organisation.
The significance of this matchup extends beyond individual accomplishments. Both fighters are positioned as future stars of the featherweight division, and this bout represents an opportunity for one to separate himself from the pack and earn consideration for a top-five ranked opponent.
The stylistic matchup promises fireworks, as Nontachai's high-octane striking approach meets Dayakaev's proven finishing ability. With both fighters known for their aggressive styles and willingness to engage, fans at the historic venue and watching worldwide can expect an unforgettable display of elite Muay Thai action.
ONE Fight Night 33 will be broadcast live on JioHotstar and Star Sports Select 2 at 6:30 a.m. India Standard Time (IST) on Saturday, 12 July.
