ONE Championship (ONE), returned to the Singapore Indoor Stadium with another blockbuster live event. ONE: BIG BANG featured an incredible display of talent, skill, and willpower from the best martial artists in the world.

In the main event, multiple-time Kickboxing World Champion Marat Grigorian of Armenia and Belgium made a successful ONE Super Series debut, finishing opponent Ivan Kondratev of Russia with a debilitating shot to the liver in round two.

Kondratev stunned Grigorian in round one, connecting on a wild left haymaker followed by a sharp right hook that dropped the Armenian-Belgian striker.

With a heightened sense of urgency, Grigorian came out firing in round two. He punished Kondratev along the Circle Wall, attacking with furious combinations that were punctuated by a well-placed hook to the midsection, which dropped the Russian to his knees. Kondratev was unable to beat the referee’s count, and Grigorian was awarded the knockout victory.

In the co-main event, #5-ranked featherweight Garry "The Lion Killer" Tonon of the United States kept his unblemished record intact with a virtuoso performance against #3-ranked featherweight Koyomi "Moushigo" Matsushima of Japan. Tonon, a former Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi World Champion, wasted no time bringing the action to the mat in the first two rounds, where he overwhelmed Matsushima with a variety of submission attacks.

Wary of Tonon's high-level ground skills, Matsushima could do very little on the feet, as he focused on surviving Tonon's relentless submission attempts. In the end, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Tonon to win by unanimous decision.

Malaysia's Jihin "Shadow Cat" Radzuan turned in a clinical grappling performance, outscoring Vietnamese-American star Bi "Killer Bee" Nguyen across three rounds of solid action to take home a unanimous decision. While Nguyen showed a slight advantage in the stand-up game, Jihin absolutely owned the grappling exchanges throughout the contest. In the final round, Jihin went strike for strike with Nguyen, landing a pair of front kicks to the head to seal the deal on the judges' scorecards.

Indian wrestling phenom Ritu "The Indian Tigress" Phogat was triumphant once again, stopping the Philippines' Jomary "The Zamboanginian Fighter" Torres to remain undefeated in mixed martial arts. Torres stunned Phogat with straight punches early on, causing the latter to shoot for a takedown. On the mat, Phogat was the picture of perfection, swiftly moving into a mounted crucifix to end the bout with elbows from the top.
