Alibeg Rasulov is ready to emerge from ONE Fight Night 26 as an undefeated fighter.
Heading into 2024, Rasulov held an undefeated professional MMA record of 13-0. The Turkish lightweight was ready for the next step in his fighting career, leading him to sign with ONE Championship and pursue a world title.
In July, Rasulov made his ONE debut against former world champion Ok Rae Yoon. The 32-year-old was ineligible to claim the interim lightweight title due to missing weight but still secured a dominant unanimous decision win.

During an interview with ONE, Rasulov had this to say about his plans to emerge victorious in the upcoming main event:
"I’m going to the end to win and get the belt. To win and get the belt. It’s important to any fighter to stay undefeated."
ONE Fight Night 26 features two world title fights, including Christian Lee vs. Alibeg Rasulov in the main event. Friday's event inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium can be seen live and for free by North American and Canadian viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Alibeg Rasulov plans to spoil Christian Lee's return party
ONE Fight Night 26 will showcase Christian Lee's first fight since November 2022. The two-division MMA world champion hasn't fought in two years to focus on recovering from the tragic passing of his younger sister, Victoria Lee.
Lee is widely considered one of the best MMA fighters in ONE Championship. The 26-year-old's superior fundamentals and never-say-die attitude, which were displayed in his last fight against Kiamrian Abbasov, have been missed by fans.
At ONE Fight Night 26, Lee looks to pick up where he left off and continue running the lightweight and welterweight divisions.
Meanwhile, Alibeg Rasulov has an opportunity to utilize Lee's star power and potentially skyrocket his value within the promotion. With a win against Lee, Rasulov would quickly become one of the most respected fighters in ONE.
