Abdulla Dayakaev seeks title shot in ONE Championship Muay Thai rematch with Superlek

Abdulla Dayakaev will face Superlek in a bantamweight Muay Thai rematch at ONE Championship’s Inner Circle 25 on August 7. The fight is being streamed live from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium during Asia primetime. Dayakaev won a split decision in their first encounter, but many fans still believe Superlek deserved the victory.

Dayakaev says a decisive win would restore his claim to a title eliminator and put him in line to challenge Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon, the fighter who knocked him out in January. He noted, “When I win against Superlek, I want to fight Rambolek… that guy stopped me one step before a possible title shot.” Six of his nine ONE Championship victories have come by knockout, underscoring his finishing ability. A victory would solidify his position in the bantamweight Muay Thai title picture.
