If
he
defeats
the
former
divisional
king
“The
Bandit”
this
Friday
(December
17),
the
grappling
specialist
wants
to
compete
for
the
welterweight
gold
currently
held
by
Kiamrian
“Brazen”
Abbasov.
“In
case
of
my
victory,
I
should
be
the
main
contender
for
a
title
shot,”
the
26-year-old
competitor
said.
“I
worked
hard,
and
I’m
still
working
hard
to
get
there.
I
deserve
it.”
The
Russian
athlete
maintained
his
perfect
10-0
record
with
two
sensational
performances
in
ONE
Championship.
In
his
debut,
the
Dagestan
Fighter
representative
finished
“Wolverine”
Bae
Myung
Ho
at
the
4:53
mark
of
the
first
round.
As
soon
as
his
South
Korean
rival
hit
the
canvas,
Ramazanov
used
his
hulking
figure
and
world-class
wrestling
skills
to
clinch
a
TKO
win.
His
subsequent
outing
is
proof
that
he
is
a
serious
contender
in
the
welterweight
division.
The
athlete
who
represented
the
Republic
of
North
Macedonia
in
the
2008
Summer
Olympics
outclassed
Hiroyuki
“Japanese
Beast”
Tetsuka
with
his
superb
grappling
to
score
a
unanimous
decision
victory.
ONE:
WINTER
WARRIORS
II
–
Three
fights
confirmed
for
lead
card
Ramazanov
feels
a
third
victory
is
not
far
off,
and
it
will
have
more
weight
given
Kadestam’s
resume
as
a
former
world
champion.
“His
strengths
are
in
his
Muay
Thai
base.
But
I
am
not
worried
about
his
or
my
strengths
and
weaknesses.
I
just
need
to
do
my
job
and
come
out
as
a
winner,”
the
Makhachkala
native
said.
“My
main
goal
in
this
fight
is
to
impose
my
game,
my
pace,
and
come
out
as
a
winner.
That’s
it.”
Though
he
is
exuding
extreme
confidence,
the
Muay
Thai
and
wrestling
master
is
still
wary
of
his
Swedish
opponent’s
winning
chances.
After
all,
Kadestam’s
91
percent
finish
rate
is
proof
that
Ramazanov
will
pay
if
he
makes
one
mistake.
But
barring
any
errors,
he
would
love
to
score
a
finish
against
the
pankration
expert,
earn
his
11th
career
win,
and
compete
against
Abbasov
for
the
gold
strap.

“My
main
game
plan
is
to
come
and
conquer
–
veni,
vidi,
vici
(I
came;
I
saw;
I
conquered)
–
if
I
can
say
so.
I
want
not
only
to
finish
him,
but
I
also
want
to
show
a
spectacular
fight,”
he
said.
“However,
this
is
MMA,
and
with
smaller
gloves,
anything
can
happen.
We
will
see
everything
during
the
fight.”
