“I will go through his chin” - Marat Grigorian can’t wait to put a beating on Rukiya Anpo at ONE 173

Three-time kickboxing world champion Marat Grigorian of Armenia vows Rukiya Anpo won’t reach the final bell at ONE 173.

On Nov. 16, the striking icon will look to serve the promotional newcomer a piece of humble pie when they cross swords in a featherweight kickboxing clash at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.

After enduring weeks of trash talk from the former K-1 champion, Grigorian plans to deliver a brutal statement.

Now, Grigorian wants payback the only way he knows how, through his fiery fists of fury.

The 34-year-old veteran guaranteed a violent finish in his pre-event interview with ONE Championship:

"With my output, I will go through his chin. I just want to beat him up really badly. I just want to feel his chin on my knuckles."

With nearly two decades of experience fighting the best in the world, Grigorian is as fearsome as it gets.

Infuriated by Anpo’s brash antics, the Hemmers Gym standout is more motivated than he’s ever been to punish the Osaka native for talking too much and disregarding his talents.

Fans can expect Grigorian to unleash his ferocious power shots as soon as the bell rings at ONE 173.
