Rambolek Dismisses Dayakaev's Style, Promises Knockout At ONE Fight Night 39

Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon believes his superior Muay Thai arsenal will overwhelm Abdulla Dayakaev's one-dimensional approach when they meet in the main event of ONE Fight Night 39 on January 24 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Thai striker has broken down his Russian opponent's fighting style and concluded that variety will trump power in this bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.

"Dayakaev's fighting style? Punches, nothing more. His strengths include his powerful strikes and the punches. The advantages I have include my variety of Muay Thai weapons. I may have better speed compared to him, too," Rambolek assessed.

The analysis reflects confidence in his complete striking toolkit developed under the tutelage of legendary ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon, contrasting sharply with what he perceives as Dayakaev's reliance on boxing.

Rambolek took his assessment further by directly challenging the 23-year-old Dagestan-born knockout artist's finishing reputation.

"The 'Smash Boy' wouldn't be able to smash me because he will be smashed by me first. In our fight, I will put his lights out," the Thai fighter said.

The bold prediction sets up a fascinating clash of styles and philosophies.

Dayakaev brings an 8-1 promotional record with six finishes and currently rides a four-fight winning streak that includes victories over three Thai opponents.

Rambolek counters with his own four-fight winning streak and 6-2 promotional mark. He revealed his ultimate ambition while acknowledging the importance of handling Dayakaev first.

"My biggest goal is being a champion. For now, I just need to focus on this fight. If I get my victory in this upcoming fight, I think there is a chance that I will get to fight with Nabil," Rambolek stated.

The January 24 main event at ONE Fight Night 39 will determine whether Rambolek's variety and speed overcome Dayakaev's power and boxing precision, or if the Russian's finishing ability proves more versatile than the Thai fighter anticipates in what promises to be an explosive bantamweight Muay Thai collision.
