ONE Championship has a multitude of hotly contested bouts to relish over during the next two months, ranging from a gargantuan heavyweight collision to a sizzling ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Title contest.

First, ONE Fight Night 12: Superbon vs. Khalilov takes place on Saturday, 15 July. Then, ONE Fight Night 13: Allazov vs. Grigorian goes down just three weeks later on Saturday, 5 August.

Each contest will have massive ramifications for the future of its division. With that, let's take a look at three of the biggest fights to watch in ONE in the coming weeks.

1. Garry Tonon Vs. Shamil Gasanov - ONE Fight Night 12: In what could be a match that determines the next challenger to Tang Kai's ONE Featherweight World Championship, two mighty grapplers collide in one of the most intriguing bouts when Garry Tonon meets Shamil Gasanov at ONE Fight Night 12.

Second-ranked Tonon faces #5-ranked Gasanov in the evening's co-main event, and the American will look to earn a second shot at the weight bracket's gold while serving the Russian prospect his first professional defeat.

Gasanov may only have a single bout in ONE, but his victory over Kim Jae Woong thrust him into the top five of the featherweight rankings. At 13-0, "The Cobra" is a serious threat, and should he leave victorious against Tonon, it'll be the biggest win of his career.

2. Chingiz Allazov Vs. Marat Grigorian - ONE Fight Night 13: After losing his promotional debut, Chingiz Allazov has been an unstoppable force in the division, culminating in him capturing the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Title at ONE Fight Night 6 with a KO of Superbon Singha Mawynn.

ONE Fight Night 13 will see "Chinga" make the first defense of his ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Title against Marat Grigorian in a main event contest that fans are clamoring for.

Allazov carved a path of destruction en route to the prestigious World Title, picking apart every adversary who stepped in his way, including legends like Samy Sana, Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, and Superbon.

However, Grigorian is also respected for his versatile striking style, having taken out Tayfun Ozcan over the course of three rounds at ONE on Prime Video 2 last October to earn the right to face "Chinga."

Fans cannot wait for their eventual collision this August, with many deeming the kickboxing affair the biggest fight of the season. Can Allazov retain his belt? Or will Grigorian stun the Belarusian?

3. Marcus Almeida Vs. Oumar Kane - ONE Fight Night 13: The biggest contest of the summer will take place on ONE Fight Night 13's main card when Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida meets "Reug Reug" Oumar Kane in a potential ONE Heavyweight World Title eliminator.

"Buchecha" has been on a tear since arriving in ONE's heavyweight realm, dispatching each adversary inside the first frame. The 13-time BJJ World Champion has transitioned to mixed martial arts extremely well, but his next adversary will be the biggest test of his career.

Supporting his rugged knockout power, the one they call "Reug Reug" also has a decorated past in wrestling, so that should keep Almeida on his toes at all times. Kane is also in the strongest form of his promotional run, currently riding a two-fight winning streak.

This heavyweight clash is bound to be a combustible one, and with undisputed king Anatoly Malykhin now at the helm, a World Title opportunity could soon be next for ONE Fight Night 13's winner.
