ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Chingiz Allazov has undoubtedly asserted himself as one of the top strikers in the sport. And his victories have come against some of the biggest names in the kickboxing world.

"Chinga" will step inside Lumpinee Stadium's ring in Bangkok, Thailand, this Saturday, 5 August, to make the first defense of his ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Title. His challenger is old foe and #2-ranked Marat Grigorian in the main event of ONE Fight Night 13.

But before the fighting festivities get underway later this week, let's revisit Allazov's dominance en route to World Title glory by looking at the Belarusian's top three performances in ONE Championship.

1. Superbon Singha Mawynn: Allazov enjoyed a monumental run that led to ONE Fight Night 6 this past January. And his crowning performance against Superbon Singha Mawynn saw him capture the featherweight kickboxing crown.

Allazov's momentum proved to be undeniable that night. "Chinga" pummeled Superbon with thunderous strikes. Eventually, the Thai legend succumbed to Allazov's attacks at 1:03 of round two, and the latter became the new ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion.

The victory was the culmination of Allazov's blood, sweat, and tears. And in just a few days, he'll look to kickstart his reign in dominant fashion against Grigorian.

2. Samy Sana: After losing his promotional debut to Enriko Kehl, Allazov had a point to make against Samy Sana at ONE: FIRST STRIKE in 2021. Sana was already a combat sports legend, but Allazov paid no mind to the French-Algerian's accolades.

Ultimately, "Chinga" stormed through Sana in the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix quarterfinals. The bearded Belarusian brawler bit down on his mouthpiece and marched toward his adversary. And in doing so, Allazov became the first man in 152 bouts to stop Sana.

Not only that, but he did so in just 39 seconds of the opening frame. All in all, it was a stunning performance that nobody saw coming. Allazov took home a surge of confidence from the incredible finish, and it proved to be the catalyst that pushed him through the rest of the tournament.

3. Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong: Allazov has captured a multitude of victories throughout his tenure in ONE. But a win that propelled him into the upper echelon came in the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix Final at ONE X against Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong.

"Chinga" showcased his most complete performance yet against the legendary "Killer Kid." He picked Sitthichai apart over the course of three rounds with brutal combinations to keep him at bay and cruise to victory.

Allazov eventually earned the unanimous decision and silver belt over an opponent he has tremendous amounts of respect for. The victory further secured the Belarusian's place as a top dog in the featherweight kickboxing realm.
