‘Dominant, Controlled, And Decisive’ – Marat Grigorian Recaps His Quick Demolition Of Kaito At ONE SAMURAI 1

When the bright lights shined at ONE SAMURAI 1 , three-time Glory Kickboxing World Champion Marat Grigorian needed less than two minutes to remind the entire division exactly who he is. The 34-year-old Armenian powerhouse flattened Japanese star Kaito Ono at the 1:51 mark of their featherweight kickboxing battle inside Tokyo’s Ariake Arena last Wednesday, April 29.

Then, a right hand-left hook combination set the trap. And just when the 28-year-old loaded up to counter, Grigorian cracked him with the overhand right that left the Japanese dynamo flat on the canvas. For the Armenian slugger, who had spent over a year waiting for this moment, the finish was the perfect culmination of every minute he had poured into his training camp at Hemmers Gym in Breda, Netherlands.

Grigorian told onefc. com : “When that overhand right landed, and he went down, it was confirmation of all my hard work. Everything I saw in camp played out exactly how I had envisioned it would be.

“I stayed calm. There were no emotions involved. It was just me completing the job that I came to do.
