Background

Growing up in Dagestan, Ramazanov initially participated in competitive swimming. However, at the age of 13, he turned his attention to Muay Thai.[2][3]

Muay Thai career

Alaverdi Ramazanov made his Muay Thai debut at the age of 18. He moved to Thailand at 21 to train with the Venum Training Camp in order to develop his Muay Thai skills.[4]

ONE Championship

Ramazanov made his ONE debut at ONE Championship: Kingdom of Heroes on October 6, 2018 against the heavily favored Phetmorakot Petchyindee Academy. Despite receiving a cut on the back of his head, Ramazanov outstruck Phetmorakot and fought on to claim the unanimous decision victory.[5]

He then faced Andrew Miller at ONE Championship: Heart of the Lion on November 9, 2018. Ramazanov made quick work of the Scotsman with a 57-second, first-round knockout.[6] Ramazanov's KO of Miller stood as a ONE Super Series record for fastest knockout until Kohei "Momotaro" Kodera's 41-second knockout of Singtongnoi Por.Telakun at ONE Championship: Immortal Triumph on September 6, 2019.

Only two weeks later, Ramazanov stepped in on short notice to face Saemapetch Fairtex at ONE Championship: Conquest of Champions on November 23, 2018.[7] Despite keeping the fight close and competitive, Ramazanov lost the fight by unanimous decision.[8]

On February 16, 2019, Alaverdi Ramazanov faced Kongsak P.K. SaenchaiMuaythaiGym at ONE Championship: Clash of Legends. Once again, Ramazanov was able to keep the fight close but ultimately lost via split decision.[9][10]

Nevertheless, Ramazanov would bounce back as he faced Serbian-American veteran Ognjen Topic at ONE Championship: Dreams of Gold on August 16, 2019.[11] Alaverdi Ramazanov came out strong and was able to knock down Topic three times within the first round, claiming the decisive TKO victory.[12][13]

His win over Ognjen Topic would set him up for a title shot against Zhang Chenglong for the inaugural ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Championship at ONE Championship: Mark Of Greatness on December 6, 2019.[14][15] Despite having mostly fought under Muay Thai rules and showing signs of slowing down in the later rounds, Alaverdi Ramazanov was able to adapt and delivered a crucial knockdown on Zhang Chenglong before winning the fight by unanimous decision, becoming the first ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion.[16]

Alaverdi Ramazanov is scheduled to defend his ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World title against the reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao at ONE Championship: Heart of Heroes on March 20, 2020. He had previously expressed interest in a fight with Nong-O.[17]
