"I'm feeling great!" - Akbar Abdullaev collects his third $50K performance bonus at ONE Fight Night 22

Akbar 'Bakal' Abdullaev can't distinguish between what's a dream and what's reality after collecting his third straight performance bonus at ONE Fight Night 22.

The Kygryz standout is 150K richer than when he first started fighting under the promotion last year. He collected his first bonus in March 2023 against South Korea's Oh Ho Taek at ONE Fight Night 8 and then capped it off with another first-round stoppage against Ecuador's Aaron Canarte to collect his second 50K at ONE Fight Night 12.

Grinning from ear to ear, Abdullaev commented on this incredible achievement and uncommon phenomenon at the post-event interviews below:

"Im feeling great, Im feeling great. I'm feeling the best, you know like, it's like a dream now. Like, I'm feeling [like I'm] in a dream."
