The Thai striking specialist was on the front foot throughout his bantamweight Muay Thai tilt against Iranian dynamo Parham Gheirati inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last Friday.

He sat his opposite number down with a pair of right hands early. That same weapon powered him to another pair of knockdowns on his way to a TKO win at 1:15 of the second round.

Shortly after getting his hand raised, Rambolek told Circle-side color commentator Mitch Chilson there were a lot of doubters who canceled his chances against Gheirati.

He, however, used the negative comments to fuel him to victory, as he shared:

"I feel relieved. I know there are a lot of critics who are saying bad things about me. But I took all that criticism and pushed that into my motivation to train hard, to be better. And I feel very happy right now."

The 21-year-old was rewarded with a US$50,000 performance bonus for his third highlight-reel win in the promotion. At the same time, he became the first athlete to hand Gheirati (6-1) a loss under the ONE banner.
