One of the individuals absolutely amped for this world title confrontation is ONE strawweight sensation Lito 'Thunder Kid' Adiwang. The Filipino striking dynamo is famous for his explosive Wushu-based attacks. Needless to say, he's very keen to see what will transpire in the main event of ONE Fight Night 6.

In an interview with ONE championship, Adiwang made an assessment of the matchup between Superbon Singha Mawynn and Chingiz Allazov:
"I am a huge kickboxing and Muay Thai fan. In fact, I have lived and trained in Thailand, and I really fell in love with the culture. ONE Fight Night 6 is going to be incredible. Every fight is must-watch, especially the main event between Superbon and Chingiz Allazov. In my opinion, arguably the two best featherweight strikers in kickboxing right now."
ONE Fight Night 6 is happening in Bangkok, Thailand. As 'Thunder Kid' said, he has a strong affinity for kickboxing and Muay Thai, despite him being an MMA fighter.
If you're a fan of striking art, you better take Adiwang's words seriously on the matter.
Lito Adiwang thinks Superbon Singha Mawynn might be more cautious than usual against Chingiz Allazov
Though he would bet that the main event of the January 13 card will deliver an absolute classic, Lito Adiwang also sees a stylistic difference between the two fighters involved.
'Thunder Kid' sees that Superbon, despite having amazing power himself, might be facing a fighter with more bang in his hands than him.
Lito Adiwang told ONE:
“Okay, this is my honest opinion. Superbon got knockout power, but his opponent is more dangerous when it comes to that power department. He’s also a knockout artist. Superbon must play very very safe here because it’s a high-level competition already.”
While both fighters are undeniably powerful, Chingiz Allazov does appear to have more punching power. He proved this by having back-to-back first-round knockouts of Jo Nattawut and Samy Sana.
The latter being a crushing body-punch KO:
While this may be true, it should be noted that Superbon might be one of the most technical and precise kickboxers ever. He's not a powerful striker - he's a sharp striker, like a surgeon.
Superbon Singha Mawynn put this surgical striking on display when he shockingly flatlined kickboxing legend Giorgio Petrosyan with a perfectly-timed head kick.
Superbon Singha Mawynn vs. Chingiz Allazov will be the main event of ONE Fight Night 6, to be broadcast live on Friday, January 13. It is free for fans in the United States and Canada with an Amazon Prime subscription.
