The 2026 chapter of ONE Championship\u2019s global events begins with a bang.<\/p>\n
Live in U.S. primetime, Bangkok\u2019s legendary Lumpinee Stadium hosts ONE Fight Night 39: Rambolek vs. Dayakaev on Prime Video<\/a> this Friday, January 23, delivering nine explosive bouts across MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling.<\/p>\n From contenders chasing ONE World Title shots to high-profile stars making their debuts, this card promises defining moments across the board.<\/p>\n That said, here are five burning questions that will be answered at ONE Fight Night 39.<\/p>\n #1 Can Rambolek Knock Out Nabil Anane\u2019s Unstoppable Teammate?<\/p>\n The judges likely won\u2019t be needed when explosive strikers Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon<\/a> and Abdulla \u201cSmash Boy\u201d Dayakaev<\/a> finally lock horns in the main event.<\/p>\n Dayakaev is an unstoppable force \u2013 a 23-year-old wrecking machine who blitzes opponents with spinning attacks and axe kicks that catch them off guard.<\/p>\n The Dagestani goes for the jugular at the slightest opening. His 24-second destruction of Nontachai Jitmuangnon<\/a> at ONE Fight Night 33<\/a> last July sent shockwaves through the division. <\/p>\n But if there\u2019s anyone who can match Dayakaev\u2019s trail of destruction, it\u2019s Rambolek.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old Thai has always carried power in his strikes, which he used to become the first ONE Friday Fights contract winner. But after joining the main roster, back-to-back setbacks exposed areas for growth.<\/p>\n A fresh start changed everything. Since joining Superbon Training Camp under ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon<\/a> and former bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama<\/a>, the Chaiyaphum native has evolved.<\/p>\n He\u2019s grown sharper, more patient, and devastatingly technical, notching four straight victories. This includes back-to-back statement TKO wins over Parham Gheirati<\/a> and Dmitrii \u201d The Silent Assassin\u201d Kovtun<\/a>.<\/p>\n Against Dayakaev, Rambolek will be tested like never before. But the spoils of victory are grander than he could ever imagine \u2013 a potential showdown with the Russian\u2019s Team Mehdi Zatout teammate, reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane.<\/a><\/p>\n #2 Which Contenders Could Emerge With World Title Shots?<\/p>\n Several contenders\u2019 paths to World Title glory begin at ONE Fight Night 39.<\/p>\n A new challenger for the vacant ONE flyweight Muay Thai throne could emerge when Kongthoranee Sor Sommai<\/a> battles Asadula Imangazaliev<\/a> in the co-main event.<\/p>\n Kongthoranee was on the cusp of a shot at gold after edging Nong-O Hama. But back-to-back losses to the Thai legend in their rematch and Aslamjon Ortikov stalled his momentum. Now, the 29-year-old seeks redemption by ending Imangazaliev\u2019s perfect record.<\/p>\n Standing across from him is one of the most creative knockout artists in the promotion. Imangazaliev\u2019s first-round destruction of \u201cThe Angel Warrior\u201d Panpayak Jitmuangnon<\/a> at ONE Friday Fights 122 <\/a>announced his arrival among the elite. Another statement victory puts him closer to 26 pounds of gold.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Ryohei Kurosawa<\/a> looks to become the next Japanese MMA star to capture the crown. The 32-year-old dominated Jayson \u201cDumagmang Warrior\u201d Miralpez<\/a> in his promotional debut, and an impressive win over Bokang \u201cLittle Giant\u201d Masunyane<\/a> would thrust him into the ONE Strawweight MMA World Title picture.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Chihiro Sawada<\/a> and Natalie Salcedo<\/a> collide in a pivotal atomweight MMA clash.<\/p>\n Sawada boasts five promotional victories, including wins over Jihin \u201cShadow Cat\u201d Radzuan<\/a> and The winner could challenge reigning ONE Women\u2019s Atomweight MMA World Champion Denice \u201cThe Menace\u201d Zamboanga<\/a>.<\/p>\n #3 Can Teshya Noelani Alo Pull Off The Upset?<\/p>\n Teshya Noelani Alo<\/a> enters ONE Fight Night 39 with a chip on her shoulder and revenge on her mind.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old Hawaiian faces fellow debutant Helena Crevar<\/a> in a rematch from their colored belt days \u2014 a meeting that ended with Alo losing via penalty. Now, she wants to rewrite that chapter on the global stage.<\/p>\n However, redemption won\u2019t come easily. Crevar, the youngest ADCC podium finisher in history, trains under legends Gordon Ryan and John Danaher at Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n But despite facing one of the pound-for-pound best female grapplers today, Alo is confident in her unique style.<\/p>\n Her powerful takedowns and explosive throws can pose serious problems. Even Crevar is admittedly impressed by Alo\u2019s stand-up game and crushing top pressure from their initial encounter.<\/p>\n But the real question is how much Alo\u2019s jiu-jitsu has evolved. If she\u2019s found the answer to Crevar\u2019s intricate guard, the upset could be real.<\/p>\n #4 Is Mohammad Siasarani The Next Big Thing In Featherweight Kickboxing?<\/p>\n Fresh from securing a life-changing US$100,000 contract, Mohammad Siasarani<\/a> has his sights set on undisputed ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon. But first, he must prove himself at ONE Fight Night 39 against Pedro \u201cGuerreiro\u201d Dantas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite fighting in arguably the most talent-stacked division in the promotion, the 23-year-old has already proven he belongs.<\/p>\n Amassing 10 victories while switching seamlessly between Muay Thai and kickboxing, Siasarani has showcased a complete striking package.<\/p>\n The Iranian already holds massive wins over names like Sitthichai \u201cKiller Kid\u201d Sitsongpeenong<\/a>, Kaito<\/a>, and\u00a0\u201cSpirit Dragon\u201d Liu Mengyang.<\/a><\/p>\n However, it was his career-defining knockout of former ONE World Title challenger \u201cSmokin\u201d Jo Nattawut<\/a> at ONE Friday Fights 137<\/a> last month that sealed his coveted spot on the main roster.<\/p>\n If he can stretch his winning streak to five, the Team Mehdi Zatout athlete could disrupt the 155-pound ranks. <\/p>\n #5 Will Undefeated Debutants Keep Their Perfect Records?<\/p>\n Chase \u201cMannimal\u201d Mann<\/a> and \u201cPeruano\u201d Marcos Aurelio<\/a> dominated their respective regional circuits and earned invites to ONE\u2019s global stage with unblemished records. Now, their mettle will be tested against a roster composed of the best of the best.<\/p>\n Opening the show is Aurelio in a bantamweight MMA showdown against Carlo \u201cThe Bull\u201d Bumina-ang<\/a>. The 21-year-old Brazilian brings an impressive 8-0 slate built on a formidable Muay Thai background.<\/p>\n Apart from his crisp striking, Aurelio boasts an advanced ground game. His victories come via a mix of knockouts and submissions, making him dangerous wherever the fight goes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mann overcame turmoil in his personal life to reach the world\u2019s largest martial arts organization. The former football player and powerlifter packs tremendous strength into his 6-0 record with an 80 percent finishing rate.<\/p>\n
Itsuki \u201cAndroid 18\u201d Hirata.<\/a> But her punishing grappling faces a stern test against the undefeated Salcedo, who submitted Macarena Aragon in her debut.<\/p>\n
