Some fighters hype their skills or flex their undefeated records. But Dzhabir Dzhabrailov just keeps talking about how badly he wants it.
Still just 20 years old, the Turkish lightweight is 5-0 with a perfect finishing rate, but none of that comes through when he speaks. Instead, what you hear is pure drive. Quiet, focused, and relentless. He’s not out to prove how good he already is. He wants to make sure no one outworks him.
“My confidence comes from how badly I want to win," he told ONE Championship. "I know how much I want this. My opponent doesn’t want it as much [as I do].”

That opponent is Argentina’s Nicolas Vigna, a veteran with something to prove after falling short in his ONE debut. The two meet at ONE Fight Night 32 in Bangkok this Friday, with Dzhabrailov stepping onto the U.S. primetime stage for the first time.

“Prepared for three solid rounds” - KO machine Dzhabir Dzhabrailov ready to enter deep waters at ONE Fight Night 32
He may have finished every fight so far, but Dzhabir Dzhabrailov insists he’s not chasing the knockout. He’s planning for the long haul, even if he rarely needs it.
“I never focus on a knockout or any specific type of finish," Dzhabrailov said in a recent interview with ONE Championship. "I always enter the ring mentally prepared for three solid rounds. Once I’m in there, I act based on the situation while sticking to the plan.”
It’s the balance between discipline, athleticism, and pure passion that’s carried him this far. Going into his matchup with Vigna, Dzhabrailov isn’t fixated on the numbers. Not his undefeated record, not his perfect finish rate. He’s focused on the task: there’s an opponent in front of him, and he’s ready for whatever shape the fight takes.
ONE Fight Night 32 takes place June 6 and will be available on Prime Video with an active subscription.
