The featherweight Muay Thai division is about to witness an explosive showdown as Thailand's undefeated striker Nontachai Jitmuangnon prepares to square off against Russia's hard-hitting Abdulla Dayakaev at ONE Fight Night 33 on Saturday, 12 July.
Nontachai has rapidly made a name for himself since joining ONE Championship's main roster. Known for his precision and relentless pace, the Thai warrior carved his path to the big stage through a flawless four-fight run in Road to ONE: Thailand.

Since then, he's gone from strength to strength, beginning his ONE Championship campaign with a clinical decision victory over Alessio Malatesta. Two more convincing wins followed, cementing his place as a dangerous force in the featherweight ranks.
However, he now faces perhaps his most daunting challenge yet in the form of Abdulla "Smash Boy" Dayakaev. Just 23 years old, Dayakaev has earned a reputation for ending fights in brutal fashion. Of his eight appearances under the ONE banner, he has claimed seven wins, with five by knockout-a testament to his raw power and killer instinct.
His recent performances have turned heads across the combat sports world. After earning a full-time contract by knocking out his opponent in the first round at ONE Friday Fights 96, Dayakaev delivered a shocker by finishing former top-five bantamweight contender Saemapetch Fairtex in dominant style at ONE Fight Night 31.
This upcoming contest also marks Dayakaev's debut at featherweight, bringing an added layer of intrigue to an already exciting matchup. The outcome could have major implications in the title picture for both fighters. With Nontachai's sharp, aggressive technique clashing with Dayakaev's knockout prowess, fans can expect a barnburner.
