"I can fight him again and again" - Superbon believes rivalry with Marat Grigorian is far from over

The featherweight kickboxing division is populated with some of the best strikers in the world and Superbon is certainly in that category. During his time competing under the ONE Championship banner, the interim 155-pound kickboxing champion has faced some incredible rivals.

With there being several guys that are all at the elite level, they're destined to fight each other several times throughout their careers. This has proven to be the case for the Thai competitor and the former Glory world champion, Marat Grigorian.

The two men have crossed paths on two separate occasions in ONE Championship, not to mention a third encounter that took place before they arrived in the promotion. Despite holding two wins over him in ONE, the interim titleholder believes that there is a possibility that they will meet again in the future.

He told the South China Morning Post that his series of fights with Grigorian might not be over, especially because he is willing to fight the best at all times:

"I can him again plenty more times, I don't care. I can fight him again and again. I never run from anyone."

Superbon has other priorities right now

Before he returns to his more natural ruleset of kickboxing, Superbon has a big test ahead of him at ONE Friday Fights 81. In the main event on Sept. 27, he will collide with Jo Nattawut inside Lumpinee Stadium.

'Smokin' Jo may have been unable to defeat Tawanchai PK Saenchai to become the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion but he came close at ONE 167.

If Superbon is able to take the win in this high-stakes clash, it could prove that he is ready to face Tawanchai for a second time to achieve his dream of being a two-sport world champion.

ONE Friday Fights 81 will air live in Asian primetime via watch.onefc.com.
