The internationally renowned sport IP-ONE Championships will feature the "ONE:X" 10th Anniversary Commemorative Event at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday 26 March. The tournament will be divided into three phases, the first of which will begin live broadcasting at 1 p.m. Beijing time on Saturday, including two top-level duels representing kickboxing and tangling.
The headline main stage of the first phase of the "ONE:X" event was brought by Chingiz Allazov and Sittichai Sitsongpeenong to the featherweight kickboxing World Eight Finals. Sittychai has won several world championship titles and is the most dominant "Gold Level" king since the K-1 era. However, when world kickboxing entered the era of ONE Championships, Sitichai was far from having a status that matched its past honors.
The previous battle for the vacant world title at the ONE Championship and the new world championship battle that will also be played in "ONE:X" are not related to Sittikoy. Sittychai is currently only third in the featherweights, along with Giorgio Petrosyan, Marat Grigorian and current champion Superbon Singha Mawynn.
The main reason is that he signed an ONE championship and lost to his old rival Su Bobang in the first game. In addition, while Sitchai defeated Tawanchai PK Saenchaimuaythaigym in World Eight and won consecutive victories over Tayfun Ozcan and Davit Kiria in the World Eight. But all three games were decided to win, and two were divisive decisions, and the scenes were very sticky and close. His upcoming opponent, Arazov, relied on two first-leg KO games to reach the final, and the gap in impression was obvious.
Although Sittychai is only 30 years old now, it is still a year of age. But he has been in professional boxing for 16 years, so it can't help but make the outside world wonder whether the reason for Sidiko's lack of strength in recent years is related to fatigue or injury. But in fact, the subjective factor that boxing fans generally have higher expectations for Sytichai, who has played against the world's top players since signing the ONE Championship in 2020 and has a very high winning percentage, and he is still a strong contender for the world championship. If he can beat Arazov in the finals of this eight-man tournament, Sitichai can once again stand on the stage of the world championship battle and launch a "Grand Slam".
The joint main event of the first phase of "ONE:X" was a down-and-down stalking rule match against reinier De Ridder, the current middleweight and lightweight world champion, and Andre Galvao, known as the "world's strongest jiu-jitsu".
Riddle is currently the only two-tier world champion in the ONE Championships, and to date he has won 15 games and 13 of them, 10 of which have been won by surrender. Especially in the last middleweight world championship defense battle, Riddle faced the challenge of the sub-middleweight world champion Kiamrian Abbasov, almost bloodlessly defeated his opponents, once again showing the world his terrifying fighting skills.
After the match, Riddle also played three strong men: heavyweight world champion Arjan Bhullar, interim heavyweight world champion Anatoly Malykhin, and one is Andrey Galvo.
Winner of the ADCC World Championship in Surrender Wrestling, five-time Black Belt At the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championships, nine-time Pan American Championships in Brazil and three-time World Cup in Brazil, Galvo is the "Grand Slam" champion of the sport of tangling. Riddle is likely to launch a heavyweight attack after this battle and deliver on his promise. And Galvo will defend his honor under the rules he does best.
In addition, grassweight rising star Lito Adiwang will fight to defend her world rankings; Danielle Kelly, a jutsu star from the card girl, will have her own ONE championship opening, and she will fight Against Japan's veteran fighting queen MeiYamaguchi under the rules of wrestling.
