Undefeated Fighter Promises Finish at ONE Fight Night 42, Eyes 50K Bonus

Undefeated Turkish destroyer Dzhabir Dzhabrailov is not arriving at ONE Fight Night 42 looking for a close decision.

The 21-year-old has set his sights on a first-round finish and a performance bonus when he faces fellow unbeaten American fighter Chase “Mannimal” Mann in a welterweight MMA clash in the ONE Fight Night 42 main event on Friday, April 10, live in U.S. primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Dzhabir Dzhabrailov has been one of the most electrifying new arrivals on the ONE Championship roster since making his promotional debut in 2024. All three of his ONE victories have come via knockout, and none of them survived past the two-minute mark.

His 6-0 pro record carries the same finishing theme, with every single victory coming before the judges were needed. That kind of finishing rate against professional opposition is the foundation of a growing reputation as one of the most dangerous young welterweights in the game.

Despite the elevated stakes of facing another undefeated fighter with title implications attached to the result, Dzhabrailov has kept his preparation grounded in the same approach that has carried him through six professional victories without a blemish on his record.

“Besides higher stakes and waking up early for the fight, nothing changes. I know who I am and what I am capable of. I have been preparing in Thailand for this one. Overall, great training camp,” Dzhabrailov said.

That composure is backed by a finishing record that few fighters his age can point to anywhere in the sport. Three ONE knockouts, all before the two-minute mark, against professional opposition reflect not just power but the timing and accuracy to land clean shots against prepared opponents. He also owns a perfect 100% finishing rate in his overall career.

There is no ambiguity in how Dzhabir Dzhabrailov wants the night to end. The 21-year-old has been precise about his ideal outcome, framing his performance goal around the kind of finish that would send a message to the entire welterweight division and put some extra money in his pocket at the same time.

“You can expect the fireworks, and, as usual, expect a highlight finish from my side. Let’s see if he can survive with me. is for me to be done in round one. A headshot. 50k bonus,” he explained.

Mann arrives with his own unblemished record and a clear path to the top of the division. The 29-year-old Arkansas native trains out of The LC and carries a 7-0 career record with five finishes, most recently stopping Robert Whitaker’s training partner, Isi “Doxz” Fitikefu, via first-round TKO in his promotional debut this past January.

Dzhabir Dzhabrailov Identifies Mann’s Striking as His Biggest Weakness

For all his finishing power, Dzhabir Dzhabrailov has approached the Mann matchup with clear-eyed respect. He has studied his opponent carefully and identified both the strengths and weaknesses he expects to encounter on the night.

“I don’t underestimate anyone. He is a strong, muscular wrestler built like a ninja turtle. He definitely is physically strong and has pressure . His striking is his biggest weakness. On my end, my speed and in my arsenal will be decisive,” he said.

Mann’s wrestling-heavy, all-round approach has proven effective against every opponent he has faced, and his physical strength gives him a natural path to takedowns that has troubled more striking-oriented fighters throughout his career. Whether he can close the distance against Dzhabir Dzhabrailov’s speed and striking variety before the Turkish knockout artist finds his range is the central question of the welterweight clash.
