Challenger Masters Defies Gravity in Full-Body, One-Handed Dives!

Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon is one emphatic victory away from the greatest moment of his life. The 23-year-old knockout artist is set to challenge reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane for the gold at ONE Friday Fights 147 , broadcasting live in Asia primetime on Friday, March 20, from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. It is one of the most stacked nights in the weekly series’ history, with two World Title fights topping the card.

The Chaiyaphum native made history as the first athlete to earn a six-figure contract with the promotion through ONE Friday Fights. But after suffering back-to-back defeats early in his tenure, Rambolek rededicated himself to his craft.

He quickly reeled off four straight wins to force his way into World Title contention. The final obstacle was Abdulla “Smash Boy” Dayakaev , a Dagestani mauler riding four straight knockout wins into their ONE Fight Night 39 clash this past January. He tore Dayakaev apart with debilitating body shots to earn a second-round finish and a US$50,000 performance bonus.

The win was a calculated dismantling — a statement of intent on the biggest stage of his career. Rambolek reflected: “We trained specifically to attack his body. Watching his tapes, I saw that even when he took a heavy shot from Saemapetch and went down, he got right back up like nothing happened.
