Ibragim Dauev has been in impressive form throughout his campaign in ONE Championship, and he's only been inspired by one record-breaking superstar in the promotion: Anatoly Malykhin.The reigning ONE light heavyweight and middleweight MMA world champion helped the former secure a spot in the promotion last year, and the Fight Club Akhmat and One Chance superstar has more than repaid 'Sladkiy's' trust throughout three firefights.He debuted with a unanimous decision win over Mark Abelardo in January last year, and he's tripled his promotional slate since with another pair of victories on the scorecards against Magomed Akaev and Pedro Dantas.Of course, Ibragim Dauev's ultimate goal is to secure the 26 pounds of gold in the featherweight MMA division, currently held by China's first MMA world champion, Tang Kai.And he knows he is well on course to attain that feat in due time."I want to become a champion like him. If he could do it, then I can do it – I know it’s just a matter of time," the Russian phenom told the world's largest martial arts organization during an interview.
