![]() I'm expecting an extremely competitive fight, and Marat Grigorian to be the new champion. The champion has been in exceptional shape in his last few fights, but I have a hard time imagining he will be able to keep up his usual pace for the full duration of the fight, especially when being put on the back foot. Similar to someone like Regian Eersel, Grigorian shines through his constant pressure, the longer the fight goes on. Despite Grigorian's reign as GLORY Lightweight champion only lasted two fights, it exemplified how much stronger he is in the championship rounds. While many people will look at Allazov's recent dominant winning streak or at Grigorian's previous win over the Belarusian fighter and draw their conclusion based on that, I think the biggest factor will be the five round format. Chingiz Allazov is king right now, and rightfully so. What a fight we have on our hands here! ONE's kickboxing divisions have been in a frustrating state as of late, but you can always count on them for putting on highly-anticipated marquee match-ups in their 70 KG division. The second fight, just eight months later, ended in a unanimous decision for Grigorian. The first bout ended in a no-contest after an unintentional illegal elbow early in the bout. The two have history, as they fought twice already, over a decade ago. ![]() Pound-for-pound king Chingiz Allazov will defend his ONE Featherweight Kickboxing title against Marat Grigorian on August 4 at ONE Fight Night 13.
