Asadula Imangazaliev Ready To Test Perfect Record Against Thai Legend
Asadula Imangazaliev has demolished everyone in his path, and Friday’s main event collision against Panpayak Jitmuangnon represents his moment to prove that perfection deserves recognition among combat sports’ highest echelon.
The undefeated Russian destroyer headlines ONE Friday Fights 122 inside Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium carrying a dangerous combination of youthful hunger and devastating finishing ability that has convinced him no opponent can withstand his violent approach.
“Since he first got here, he’s wanted to have these big fights and big moments against top-tier opponents,” he said. “Now is his time to show everyone how good he is and prove that he belongs at the highest level.”
That confidence stems from a perfect 9-0 record built through systematic destruction of increasingly dangerous opposition. His recent second-round annihilation of Denphuthai Superlek Muaythai at ONE Friday Fights 113 showcased the explosive power that has made him one of the flyweight division’s most feared prospects.
Four of his five ONE victories have ended in highlight-reel finishes, creating an average fight time of just over three minutes that reflects his ability to find openings against elite competition. The Team Mehdi Zatout product brings axe kicks, spinning elbows, and flying knees that have become crowd favorites.
But the 22-year-old Dagestani believes fans haven’t witnessed his complete arsenal yet. He continued:
“What you see in the gym is only a small percentage of what he’s capable of. When he goes into the ring, he gives it 100 percent. His goal is always to get the knockout.”
Panpayak represents the ultimate measuring stick for those ambitions. The 29-year-old Thai legend carries 250 career victories and former Lumpinee Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Championship credentials that demand respect from any challenger.
Yet, Imangazaliev plans to implement the same aggressive pressure that has overwhelmed every previous opponent, believing his signature approach can neutralize Panpayak’s technical brilliance before the veteran establishes rhythm.
“He doesn’t have a specific plan regarding distance, but he knows he’s an aggressive fighter and will start that way from the get-go,” he said.
