B League Preview Time! ONE on Prime Video 6 - Friday, January 13 Main Card - Amazon Prime, 8PM ET Lightweight Title (Kickboxing) - Superbon Singha Mawynn vs Chingiz Allazov Superbon is 113-34 with 27 KO wins. He’s the current ONE Featherweight kickboxing champ. Allazov is 59-5 with 36 KO wins in kickboxing. He’s the 2021 ONE Featherweight kickboxing Grand Prix champ and a former K-1 Super Welterweight champ. This fight has been attempted twice previously. First, in September, Allazov was injured. Then, in December, Superbon was injured. Let’s hope the third time is in fact the charm and Allazov can cash in his Grand Prix victory for a title shot. Bantamweight Title (Kickboxing) - Superlek “The Kicking Machine” Kiatmoo9 vs Daniel Puertas Superlek is 131-29 in kickboxing. He’s the 2012 (115 lbs) and 2013 (118 lbs) Lumpinee Stadium champ. Puertas is 32-8 with 12 KO wins. He’s some International Sport Karate titles, which, I guess is a thing that exists. I would not want to face a machine that kicks in a bout that is 50% kicking by name. Pray for Puertas. Bantamweight Title (Grappling) - Mikey “Darth Rigatoni” Musumeci vs Bayanduuren Gantumur Musumeci is approximately 60% grappling, 40% nerd poo poo, 1000% pasta, by volume. Gantumur is a 3-1 MMA fighter with all of his wins by TKO, and his lone loss by submission. Unless Bayanduuren forgets the rules and just clocks Mikey, I think Musumeci is going to submit him quickly. Strawweight (Custom Rules) - Stamp Fairtex vs Anissa Meksen Stamp is 9-2 in MMA and 63-17 in kickboxing. She’s got 3 TKO and 2 submission wins in MMA, all inside of ONE. She’s a former ONE kickboxing and Muay Thai champ at Atomweight, plus the 2021 MMA Atomweight Grand Prix champion. Meksen is 103-5 in kickboxing, with 33 knockouts. She’s a former Glory Super Bantamweight champ. This fight is set up with rounds 1 and 3 under Muay Thai rules and rounds 2 and 4 MMA rules. Meksen looks to be far more experienced in kickboxing, but Stamp’s no slouch in the striking world. Should be fun and rad! Catchweight (215 lbs) - Aung “The Burmese Python” La N Sang vs Gilberto “Giba” Galvao La N Sang is 28-13, boasting 14 TKO and 12 submission wins, with 4 TKO and 3 submission losses. He’s 13-4 in ONE, with 8 TKO and 3 sub wins. He’s a former ONE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight champ, with a combined four successful defenses. He’s currently on a one-fight win streak, having TKO’d Yushin Okami inside of two minutes back in November. Galvao is 30-7, with 3 TKO and 15 submission wins, plus 4 TKO and 1 sub loss. He’s 2-2 in ONE, with 1 TKO win and both losses coming by TKO as well. He’s on a one-fight losing streak, having been knocked out by Reinier de Ridder via grounded knees way back in 2019. Huh, I wonder if Gilberto is being brought back to the ONE Circle so that Aung La N Sang can obliterate a guy with a decent-on-paper record. Bantamweight (Kickboxing) - Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon vs Jiduo “The Eagle of Yi” Yibu Rodtang boasts a 269-42 kickboxing record. He is ONE’s “flyweight” Muay Thai champ, with 4 successful defenses of that belt. Best I can tell, he’s on a 7-fight win streak under kickboxing rules. Yibu exits, question mark? His profile page on ONE just lists his vital stats with no biography. He’s 0-1 in kickboxing on Tapology, having lost a split decision to Daniel Puertas in ONE last March. C’mon guys, it’s Rodtang, and the chatter is a win here gets him a title shot at the kickboxing belt. Lightweight - Garry “The Lion Killer” Tonon vs Johnny “Johnny Boy” Nunez Tonon is 6-1, with 2 TKO and 3 submission wins. He’s fought exclusively in ONE, and lost his last bout, a bid for the title, to Thanh Le by first round bludgeoning. Nunez is 7-2, with 2 TKO and 1 submission win. He went 2-1 in WSoF, 1-0 in Bellator, 0-3 on two separate stints on TUF, and is 0-1 in ONE. He has not fought since 2019, when he lost a decision to Kazuki Tokudome inside the ONE Circle. Nunez has gotten submitted by Joe Condon, Ryan Hall, and James Krause. I’m pretty confident that Tonon is going to obliterate him easily. Postlim Card - Later, YouTube Flyweight (Muay Thai) - Anna “Supergirl” Jaroonsak vs Ekaterina “Barbie” Vandaryeva Jaroonsak is 2-0 in ONE’s Muay Thai division, notching an opening minute KO in her debut against Milagros Lopez in 2020. She went to a split decision against Ekaterina Vandaryeva last January. Vandaryeva is 58-10 as a kickboxer, with 16 KO wins. She’s 0-3 in ONE Muay Thai. Vandaryeva really needs to not lose her fourth in a row. That seems like a bad streak to be on! Catchweight (150 lbs) - Jae Woong “The Fighting God” Kim vs Shoko “Masamitsu” Sato Kim is 13-6 with 9 TKO wins, and 4 TKO losses. He is 4-3 inside the ONE Circle, all four wins coming by TKO stoppage. He went 1-2 last year in ONE, getting knocked out by Kai Tang in just over 2 minutes in March, then he got choked out by Shamil Gasanov in October. He ended the year on a high note with a TKO win over Kevin Belingon in November. Sato is 33-15, with 20 TKO wins, and just 3 stoppage losses. He is 3-2 in ONE, though he’s split time with Vale Tudo Japan and Shooto. He lost his last bout to Stephen Loman by decision last March. You would think a god of fighting would have a much better record, but I think it’s good for the mythology when gods are a bit flawed. Sato has been fighting since 2007, and in case you need a reminder, that is 16 years.

As supplemental material for LobMob's great preview, here is some writing about why Superbon vs. Allazov is A Big Deal: BeyondKick.com currently has Superbon at #1 and Allazov at #2 on their Pound-for-Pound kickboxing rankings. Not just in their weight class, but out of all kickboxers. So this is legitimately the biggest kickboxing match you can make now that Tenshin vs. Takeru has resulted in both of them retiring from kickboxing. Here's a staff preview of the fight, which I'll paste in this box too: BeyondKick posted:Only two weeks into the new year, we already got the most important fight of 2023 on our hands. The other news is that, assuming that Stamp and Anissa come out of their MMA/Muay Thai mixed bout unscathed, they will meet on the February show for the interim kickboxing title. Three different sports in a month? Why not?

ONE Championship’s Hydration & Weigh-In System ONE Championship’s weight classes are unlike any other organization in the world. ONE has been an industry leader by banning weight-cutting via dehydration. Instead, the promotion has implemented a revolutionary system that ensures athletes are hydrated, fit, and healthy ahead of their bouts. The new program, which is the first of its kind for combat sports, is focused on athlete safety by introducing “walking weight” competition via multiple weigh-ins and hydration tests before and during event week. An athlete’s “walking weight” will be tracked on a regular basis throughout the period that the athlete is contracted to ONE. The weigh-in program was established after thorough discussions and recommendations by ONE’s Medical and Competition teams, consisting of Vice President of Medical Services Dr. Warren Wang, Chief Medical Advisor Dr. James Okamoto, Senior Vice President of Competition Matt Hume, and Vice President Rich Franklin. How Does ONE’s Hydration & Weigh-In System Work? - An athlete’s daily training weight is referred to as “walking weight.” ONE will assign an athlete his or her weight class based on the athlete’s “walking weight.” Bouts will be offered to an athlete strictly based on his or her “walking weight.” - When athletes arrive at ONE’s athlete hotel at the start of event week, their weights will be checked. Every athlete must be within the restrictions of the contracted weight class or catchweight limit. - During event week, all athletes will participate in a combined weigh-in and hydration test. Hydration will be checked through a urine specific gravity test in which every athlete will submit a urine sample to a medical technician. Under the guidance of ONE’s doctor, the technician and doctor will test the sample to ensure the athlete is hydrated with a urine specific gravity value of 1.025 or below. If the athlete passes this test, he or she can weigh-in. The athlete’s weight must be within the restrictions of the contracted weight class or catchweight limit. - On event day, athletes who made weight and passed the hydration test on the previous day do not have to weigh-in. However, if an athlete has missed weight or failed a hydration test, then he or she must pass the hydration test and make weight on event day. - If an athlete fails the hydration test on event day, he or she is not permitted to compete. Should an athlete pass the hydration test but weigh-in above the restrictions of the contracted weight class, then the bout may take place at a catchweight if the athlete is within 5 percent of his or her opponent’s official weight, and if the opponent agrees to competing at this catchweight. Additionally, a percentage of the athlete’s purse will be given to the opponent due to failure to make the contracted weight. - Post-bout weight may not exceed 5 percent over the weight class or catchweight limit. If an athlete were to commit this offense, he or she will be held to the rules below: First offense – athlete receives an official warning. Second offense – athlete will be penalized 25 percent of his or her total fight purse. Third offense – athlete will be penalized 50 percent of his or her purse. The athlete will also be permanently disqualified from competing in the weight class and must move up to the next higher weight class.

So I people that fail hydration need to drink enough water to pass it, but not enough water that their weight exceeds the weight class limit. People that pass hydration but fail weight, like Rodtang, have room to cut via dehydration (lol even though it says that's banned on the rules) and hope that they don't do the inverse via too much sweating.

# ? Jan 12, 2023 15:46 |

Yeah, I just don't know how urine specific gravity is affected by drinking X amount of water if you weigh Y. Like ounces in the case of missing by .005, or even more? I assume time is a factor. I want a fighter to try to load water up in their foreskin to cheat.

Meanwhile for ONE tonight, Anna Jaroonsak stepped up from the Postlims to fight Stamp and they made the other Postlim the first fight on the show instead, so now all 8 fights are airing on Prime and there are no Postlims.
