Abdulla Dayakaev believes destiny is calling ahead of his clash with Thailand’s Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon at ONE Fight Night 37 on Friday.

The Dagestani knockout machine has torn through the bantamweight Muay Thai ranks and now stands on the brink of title contention.

Now he sees himself with one simple mission: win in style and position himself for Jonathan Haggerty.

Dayakaev will ride some serious momentum into the bout. The 23-year-old has finished four straight opponents inside the distance, including a record 24-second knockout of Nontachai Jitmuangnon in his most recent outing.

His approach is built on pressure, aggression and heavy hands that hurt opponents before they settle into the fight.

“I need to kill my opponent and finish,” Dayakaev told the Post. “My strategy is always push, press him and catch him or put him to sleep.”
