Marat Grigorian sets his sights on Superbon trilogy after first-round finish in Japan
BJPENN.COM Staff - May 6, 2026
Over a year of buildup. One hundred and eleven seconds to finish it. Now Marat Grigorian wants the title. Grigorian stopped Kaito Ono at 1:51 of round one in a featherweight kickboxing bout at ONE SAMURAI 1, on April 29 at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, earning his 70th career win in the process. The Armenian landed a right hand-left hook combination to set the trap, waited for Kaito to counter, then connected with the overhand right that put the Japanese standout flat on the canvas. The finish settled a rivalry that had simmered since their original ONE 172 booking collapsed in March 2025 when Grigorian missed the featherweight limit and Kaito refused a catchweight bout. The fallout was public. The result in Tokyo was not.
