Kongthoranee Meets Asadula Imangazaliev, Rambolek Faces Abdulla Dayakaev At ONE Fight Night 39
A pair of Thailand-versus-Russia Muay Thai showdowns have been added to ONE Fight Night 39 on Prime Video, which airs live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, January 24.
Fourth-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Kongthoranee Sor Sommai will collide with undefeated destroyer Asadula Imangazaliev in a crucial divisional matchup.
Meanwhile, #4-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon will finally lock horns with #5-ranked Abdulla “Smash Boy” Dayakaev in another explosive battle that could shake up the top-five divisional rankings.
Kongthoranee has proven to be one of the best flyweight strikers in the world.
A three-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, Kongthoranee owns a 72-18 career record with 11 victories in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
The cerebral technician earned his stripes during a seven-bout winning streak at ONE Friday Fights, capped by a majority decision win over Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi to earn a six-figure contract and global roster spot.
Kongthoranee’s success continued. He utilized his counter-striking abilities to defeat “Samingpri” Tagir Khalilov at ONE 169 in November 2024 and then displayed razor-sharp timing to best Nakrob Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 26 a month later.
The biggest feather in the Thai’s cap came at ONE Fight Night 28 this past February, where he shocked the world with a split-decision victory over former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama.
After stumbling against Nong-O in their rematch and falling short against Aslamjon Ortikov soon thereafter, Kongthoranee is hungry for redemption.
Standing across from him is a rampaging destroyer who remains perfect through 10 career fights. Imangazaliev has compiled a pristine 6-0 record at ONE Friday Fights, with five victories coming via stoppage.
So far, nobody has found an answer to the 22-year-old Russian star’s flashy arsenal of kicks and spinning attacks that overwhelm opponents from unorthodox angles.
Even seven-time Muay Thai World Champion “The Angel Warrior” Panpayak Jitmuangnon fell prey to Imangazaliev at ONE Friday Fights 122 in August, as a thunderous head kick shut off the battle-tested veteran’s lights.
That finish earned the Russian a six-figure contract and a chance to steal Kongthoranee’s spot in the top-five flyweight Muay Thai rankings.
In another high-stakes clash, Rambolek and Dayakaev finally collide after their bout was postponed from ONE Fight Night 37 last month. “Smash Boy” was forced to pull out at the last minute after being diagnosed with a staph infection.
Rambolek – the first six-figure contract winner from ONE Friday Fights – has always carried power in his strikes. But the 22-year-old has elevated his game to another level since joining the world-class strikers at Superbon Training Camp.
The Thai’s four-bout winning streak includes back-to-back knockout victories – first, he finished Parham Gheirati in decisive fashion at ONE Fight Night 29 in March, and then he starched Dmitrii “The Silent Assassin” Kovtun at ONE Fight Night 35 six months later.
Now, he faces an equally heavy-handed warrior with the same killer instinct.
Dayakaev has emerged as one of the most promising finishers in the bantamweight Muay Thai division, sporting a 15-2 career record with eight victories in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
The Russian possesses speed, precision, innate destructive power, and a high fight IQ, compiling four straight stoppage wins that have captured everyone’s attention.
In his U.S. primetime debut at ONE Fight Night 31 this past May, Dayakaev survived an early knockdown from former ONE World Title challenger Saemapetch Fairtex, powered ahead, and registered a riveting come-from-behind TKO victory.
The 23-year-old looked even more impressive in his last outing. He moved up a weight class to face Nontachai Jitmuangnon at ONE Fight Night 33 in July, where he authored the fastest knockout in the featherweight Muay Thai division by blitzing through his opponent in just 24 seconds.
Now, on January 24, four elite strikers look to kick off 2026 with statement victories in ONE Championship’s first U.S. primetime event of the new year.
