Alibeg Rasulov ONE Fight Night 32: "Bro has been practicing on brick" - Fans feel the insane pain Alibeg Rasulov dealt former lightweight MMA champ in Bangkok clash

Turkish destroyer Alibeg Rasulov immediately made a name for himself in ONE Championship when he made easy work of former ONE lightweight MMA world champion Ok Rae Yoon in his July 2024 promotional debut. Because many fans were unfamiliar with his handiwork, some believed Ok would have an easy night inside the circle.

Rasulov made sure they regretted underestimating him midway through the fourth round when he opened a massive cut above the South Korean star's left eye courtesy of a slicing elbow in the clinch.
