Marat Grigorian says he'll put on a show regardless of who's standing in front of him: "It doesn't matter"

For former two-time ONE featherweight kickboxing world title challenger Marat Grigorian, his fan-friendly fighting style will also be present whenever he competes inside the ring regardless of his opponent.

Marat Grigorian proclaimed this during an interview with ONE Championship ahead of his featherweight kickboxing war against Kaito Ono on March 23 at ONE 172 inside the Saitama Super Arena in Japan:

"For me it doesn't matter how I win, doesn't matter who I fight, just put someone in the ring, and I will perform to the best of my abilities and impress people watching."

The Hemmers Gym representative has developed a forward-pressure type of approach and doesn't stop moving forward until his opponents crumble. This has helped him win five of his eight matches under the world's largest martial arts organization.

Grigorian's most recent victory was against Abdelali Zahidi last December 2024 at ONE Friday Fights 92 via second-round knockout. This also helped him maintain a high finish rate of 80 percent under the promotional banner.
