Unbeaten Russian knockout artist Asadula Imangazaliev plans to deliver an early finish and prove he's the top flyweight Muay Thai contender when he faces seasoned Thai striker Kongthoranee Sor Sommai at ONE
Fight Night 39 on 24 January.
The Dagestani striker brings a perfect 10-0 striking record and six promotional victories with five finishes into this high-stakes bout. The winner could move inches closer to challenging for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title.
Imangazaliev views this co-main event as his opportunity to prove he belongs among the division's elite. The undefeated Russian wants to show he's operating on a different level from quality opposition like Kongthoranee and establish himself as the clear title contender.
"In this fight, I want to show that I am on a different level and that I am the main contender for the championship belt. My biggest strength is my unique style, which I have developed throughout my career," Imangazaliev said.
The Russian sensation has identified specific weaknesses in Kongthoranee's approach. Imangazaliev believes his opponent relies heavily on counterattacks, a strategy that becomes ineffective against relentless pressure from the opening bell.
"One of my opponent's weaknesses is that he often relies on counterattacks. I plan to apply pressure from the very first seconds and break the fight in my favor. I am well prepared and ready to finish this fight early," Imangazaliev said.
The confident prediction demonstrates Imangazaliev's belief in his game plan. The Russian plans to overwhelm Kongthoranee with immediate aggression, preventing the Thai veteran from settling into his preferred counter-striking rhythm and creating early finishing opportunities.
Beyond this immediate challenge, Imangazaliev holds championship ambitions that fuel his daily training. The 22-year-old Russian dreams of becoming the first ONE World Champion from Russia in Muay Thai, a historic achievement that drives his relentless
pursuit of excellence.
"My biggest advantage in this fight will be my hunger, my strong desire to win, and my goal of becoming the first ONE World Champion from Russia in Muay Thai. This goal motivates me every day and pushes me to give my maximum," Imangazaliev said.
