The Thai striking dynamo returns for his second World Title defense after successfully defending it against Armenian slugger Marat Grigorian at ONE X. Allazov, meanwhile, earned his shot at the gold after winning the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix Champion in March last year.

In the co-main event of the evening, Superlek Kiatmoo9 drew a new opponent after ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Ilias Ennahachi vacated the crown after coming short of the 135-pound mark. 

The Thai will now face Spanish star Daniel Puertas for the vacant strap in a five-round tie, which will be broadcasted live on American primetime from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

As a result, Thai megastar Rodtang Jitmuangnon will battle Jiduo Yibu instead of Puertas in a flyweight kickboxing encounter.

ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Mikey “Darth Rigatoni” Musumeci has also received a change of opponent after Sayan Khertek was forced out of the tie due to injury. 

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete will now face another sambo specialist, Gantumur Bayanduure, which is expected to be another intense chapter in the budding rivalry between the two grappling disciplines inside the ONE Circle.

Additionally, Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang was slated to meet Chinese fighter Fan Rong, but the latter has withdrawn from the clash after testing positive for COVID-19.

The American-based martial artist will now face Brazilian juggernaut Gilberto Galvao in a 215-pound catchweight affair in Thailand.

Wrapping up the main card, #2-ranked featherweight contender Garry “The Lion Killer” Tonon will return to the Circle for the first time after falling short in his ONE Featherweight World Title challenge last March.

Tonon will meet fellow American, Johnny Nunez, who moves down from the lightweight division to begin a new quest in the featherweight division.
