In a shocking turn of events, Japanese Shoot Boxing fighter Kaito Ono has signed to fight in the ONE Championship at ONE Friday Fights 109 against Iranian striker Mohammad Siasarani. This comes after the drama between Kaito Ono’s refusal to fight Marat Grigorian at ONE 172 due to Grigorian missing weight, which in turn led to Chatri Sityodtong insulting both Ono and Shoot Boxing as a promotion.
Tensions died down as Chatri Sityodtong would retract his comments towards Ono and Shoot Boxing, and the two promotions are very much open to working with each other now, as apparent with Kaito Ono’s new match-up in the ONE Championship ring.
