ONE Fight Night 39: “I know his style”

‘Smash Boy’ Abdulla Dayakaev of Russia foresees another explosive finish when he battles Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon at ONE Fight Night 39.

In the headlining act of the promotion’s first Prime Video event of 2026, the Russian knockout artist will seek to extend his four-fight winning streak on Jan. 23 (U.S. primetime) at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Dayakaev will enter this bout with extreme confidence after coming off a vicious 24-second knockout of Nontachai Jitmuangnon in his last outing.

The 23-year-old holds an 8-1 promotional record with six frightening finishes, and seeks to add Rambolek to his fallen victims.

While Rambolek is on an impressive run of his own, Dayakaev sees no outcome other than him getting his hand raised.

The Dagestan-born striker told ONE Championship:

“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.”

After winning a $100,000 contract at ONE Friday Fights, Dayakaev wasted no time proving he belongs on the main roster with back-to-back knockouts.

Now he faces a Thai sensation, who’s also riding his own four-fight winning streak. One thing’s for sure, Rambolek and Dayakaev should provide fireworks at ‘The Mecca of Muay Thai’ on Jan. 23.

Abdulla Dayakaev says Rambolek “will run” after tasting his power

Akbar Dayakaev is the least bit worried about Rambolek’s feared finishing power.

As far as the Dagestani is concerned, the 22-year-old Thai will fold just like the rest, as soon as he feels the destruction he’s capable of.

“I want to show [I’m better], after he talked too much. I don’t want him to run. I want to meet him in the middle and fight. But I think he will run. With some of his previous [opponents], he stepped backwards always,” he told ONE.
