In the ONE Championship, which will be played on March 26, there will be a high-profile battle, that is, the second match between Subobang and Marat. Just as the fans were waiting, there were some media reports yesterday that the match would be postponed and would not be held on March 26. In this regard, Xiaobian verified with the STAFF of the ONE Championship, and the official staff said that the news was not true, and the competition would be staged as scheduled in March.

A battle in Subobang Marat took place in the ring of the Kunlun Duel in February 2018, when Subobang was koked by Marat in 29 seconds. After this war, Su Bobang also encountered a lot of doubts, but he did not stumble and proved himself with a wave of consecutive victories.
After landing in the ONE Championship, Subobang made his debut to beat Sittiko, and in the second game, George won the ONE Kickboxing Featherweight (70 kg) Gold Belt, which was rated by foreign media as the world's first in the 70 kg kickboxing class today. Although the honor is added, his being KO by Malate is still often mentioned, which may also make him unhappy.
After KO Subobang, Marat's momentum was equally vigorous, and he finally defeated the old enemy Sitichchai in May 2019 and won the GLORY gold belt, and successfully defended the title twice since. In December 2020, Malate came to the ONE Championship and made his debut with a KO victory. He then took part in the Kickboxing Featherweight (70kg) Eight-Man Battle, which was played in October last year, with an easy first-round victory over star Andy Suva. In the semi-finals, Marat would have fought with Arazov, but due to the infection with the new crown, he had no choice but to retire, which was very regrettable.
Not long ago, the ONE Championship announced a good news, Subobang is eager to avenge Marat, hoping that the two will fight a second battle as soon as possible. Therefore, the big battle was finalized on March 26, the day's match can be described as a star-studded match, Sitchai and Arazov launched the final showdown of the eight-man battle, Muay Thai king Rotang met the "Hercules", the two will stage a special rule battle, ONE women's atomic weight (52 kg) MMA champion Li Shengzhu will also re-emerge from the jianghu, ushering in the challenge of Thai star boxer Staples! It can be said that it has earned enough eyeballs for martial arts fans.
In recent times, both Subobang and Marat have been preparing for the tournament. Su Bobang practiced the leg method and knee method hard, and looked in good shape and had a high morale. Although Malate recently contracted the new crown, it seems that the impact on him is not very large, and he is training with GLORY heavyweight Zimmerman.

Zimmerman is a 35-year-old legendary veteran who has been fighting in the ring since 2001, and has koned Verhoeven and played against many famous players. During training, Marat and Zimmerman practiced their boxing skills and felt the power of heavyweight boxers firsthand. I believe that with the help of such a legendary player, Marat's heavy punch ability will also be improved a lot.
