WATCH: Undefeated slugger Alibeg Rasulov’s nasty elbow that sliced open former lightweight MMA king Ok Rae Yoon

Undefeated Turkish fighter Alibeg Rasulov highly impressed in his ONE Championship debut back in July with his dominant decision victory over former lightweight MMA king Ok Rae Yoon. The fight also saw him leave the South Korean sliced open from a nasty elbow.

The Dagestan native took on Ok in the headlining contest at ONE Fight Night 23 on July 5 in Bangkok, Thailand. It was for the interim lightweight MMA world title but with the Team MAD standout only eligible to win the belt as Rasulov was penalized for failing hydration tests.

Despite the setback, it did not prevent the 32-year-old Hyperion Fighters representative from unleashing a thorough attack against Ok, efficiently connecting on solid hits, which included a nasty elbow midway that left his opponent badly cut, on his way to the convincing decision win. The victory stretched his undefeated record to 14-0.

ONE Championship spotlighted the damage that Alibeg Rasulov inflicted in his promotional debut in a recent Instagram post.

Check out the video below:

The Instagram post was in line with Rasulov's scheduled return to action at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6, where he will challenge for the lightweight MMA world title against returning champion Christian Lee.

ONE Fight Night 26 will take place at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and air live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
