There's a reason why danger and fear are associated with the first-ranked ONE featherweight MMA contender, Akbar Abdullaev.The Kyrgyz sensation’s killer instinct has never been questioned, given his terrifying unbeaten record and 100 percent finishing rate.The defiant Ibragim Dauev tested his mettle at ONE Fight Night 35 on Prime Video last Sept. 5 inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.From the opening bell, Dauev showed he would not be intimidated. The Russian grappler played the aggressor, driving the feared finisher on the defensive with his powerful wrestling. He even threatened the notorious knockout artist with a triangle choke.For a brief moment, it seemed the hunter had become the hunted. But once Abdullaev's military-forged mental fortitude kicked in, he quickly turned the tables.The 27-year-old escaped the submission threat and made his foe pay with thunderous strikes that reminded everyone why he’s the boogeyman of the division.Dauev soldiered on and withstood the punishment in both striking and grappling exchanges, refusing to back down from Abdullaev's reputation.The Chechen warrior's heart was undeniable, but it didn’t stop Abdullaev from clubbing his face with vicious hammerfists.Despite Dauev's best efforts, Abdullaev kept gaining a dominant position on the ground over and over again, painting a portrait of controlled but animalistic violence.
