In a stunning turn of events, Turkish MMA sensation Dzhabir Dzhabrailov overcame adversity to knock out American powerhouse Chase Mann in the first round, while Muay Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao scored a breathtaking walk-off head-kick knockout against Elmehdi El Jamari in the co-main event at ONE Fight Night 42. Dzhabrailov, who had never been truly tested in his professional career, faced his toughest challenge yet against Mann and passed with flying colors. The 21-year-old Turkish phenom was initially overpowered by Mann, who dragged him to the mat and unleashed a series of vicious strikes. However, Dzhabrailov managed to turn the tide and landed a devastating left hook that caught Mann flush, sending him crashing to the canvas. The victory extended Dzhabrailov's flawless record to 7-0 and marked his fifth consecutive first-round stoppage win. Meanwhile, 42-year-old Sam-A proved that age is just a number, as he delivered a captivating second-round knockout of El Jamari in the strawweight Muay Thai co-main event. Despite being knocked down, Sam-A remained patient and waited for El Jamari's aggression to create openings, eventually landing a walk-off head kick that left his opponent spark out on the canvas. The win earned Sam-A a $50,000 performance bonus and could place him back into contention for the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai world title.
