WATCH: Alaverdi Ramazanov goes from cracking coconuts to cracking Alessandro Sara's skull in brutal KO
Former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Alaverdi Ramazanov returned to the win column in September 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 31. There, he knocked out Alessandro Sara in the opening round of their bantamweight Muay Thai bout inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The recent video that ONE Championship published on Instagram highlighted the powerful elbow strikes that Ramazanov packs:
"Cracking coconuts, crushing opponents! 🥥💥 Can Alaverdi Ramazanov pick up the win against Petchtanong at ONE Friday Fights 68? @alaverdi_ramazanov"
The video featured the versatility of the 'Babyface Killer's' elbow strikes as he used them to open a coconut, which was his main weapon to beat Sara during their clash. This victory snapped the Russian star's two-fight skid and recorded his seventh win under the promotion.
Apart from his triumph versus 'The Italian Ferrari', the Team Mehdi Zatout representative also holds victories over former ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee, Andrew Miller, Ognjen Topic, Zhang Chenglong, Pongsiri PK Saenchai, and Capitan Petchyindee.

Following his latest win, Ramazanov will make his comeback inside the ring as he is pitted against another former ONE bantamweight kickboxing king Petchtanong Petchfergus on June 28 as part of the exciting ONE Friday Fights 68 card. The event goes down inside the hallowed ring of the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
This will be a crucial match for the Russian combat sports star, as he could either rise or fall from his position as the number three contender in the bantamweight kickboxing division.
Furthermore, an impressive victory for him could push him next in line for a crack at the coveted 26-pound golden belt.
