Rambolek and Dmitrii Kovtun throw down in bantamweight Muay Thai tiff at ONE Fight Night 35

Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon and Dmitrii Kovtun will collide in a bantamweight Muay Thai tilt at ONE Fight Night 35 on Friday, September 5.

The promotion unveiled this matchup on its official website last week, pitting the two in-form warriors inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Kovtun, nicknamed 'The Silent Assassin,' is on a two-match winning run heading into this pivotal showdown.

The Russian fighter's 2025 has gone just as planned with a pair of dominant unanimous decision triumphs over Myanmarese slugger Soe Lin Oo and Thai standout Suablack Tor Pran49.

Overall, he has a 3-1 record in the promotion, having debuted with a decision win over Ferrari Fairtex before dropping a defeat to Nontachai Jitmuangnon at ONE Friday Fights 86.

The 27-year-old's heavy karate style has proven to be tricky for fighters from a striking background, and he hopes it'll stay that way against a knockout machine like Rambolek.

The Muay Thai specialist rides a three-fight win streak, achieved against Soner Sen, Craig Coakley, and a second-round knockout against Iranian powerhouse Parham Gheirati at ONE Fight Night 29 this past March.

Rambolek, who trains out of Kiatpetch Gym, was the first athlete to earn a US$100,000 contract and a spot on the main roster following his back-to-back knockout wins over Zhang Chenglong and Theeradet Chor Hapayak.

He has continued his fine form since, and he is fired up for another massive win at ONE Fight Night 35 to work his way up the bantamweight Muay Thai division.
