Dzhabrailov Scores Stunning Knockout at ONE Fight Night 42, Sam-A Delivers Thrilling Masterclass

In a breathtaking display of resilience, Turkish sensation Dzhabir Dzhabrailov overcame adversity to knock out American powerhouse Chase Mann in the first round at ONE Fight Night 42. Meanwhile, Muay Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao showcased his mastery with a stunning walk-off head-kick knockout of Elmehdi El Jamari in the co-main event. Dzhabrailov, 21, had never faced a true test in his professional MMA career, boasting six finishes in six battles, with his last four victories coming in the first round. However, he was pushed to his limits by Mann, who dominated the early stages of the fight, dragging Dzhabrailov to the mat and unleashing a flurry of strikes. Despite this, the young Turk managed to turn the tide, landing a devastating left hook that sent Mann crashing to the canvas. Dzhabrailov pounced, landing two hammerfists before the referee intervened at 2:31 of round one, extending his flawless record to 7-0 and marking his fifth consecutive first-round stoppage win. This impressive victory has positioned Dzhabrailov for a potential shot at Christian Lee's ONE Welterweight MMA world title. In the co-main event, 42-year-old Sam-A Gaiyanghadao proved that age is just a number, producing a captivating second-round knockout of El Jamari. The Thai legend survived a dramatic knockdown to land a walk-off head kick that left his Moroccan opponent spark out on the canvas, earning a $50,000 performance bonus and potentially placing him back into contention for the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai world title.
