ONE Championship returns with a plethora of combat sports this Saturday, 5 August, when ONE Fight Night 13: Allazov vs. Grigorian takes place at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The ONE Fight Night 13 card is headlined by ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship bout as Chingiz Allazov will defend his gold for the first time and try to earn some redemption when he faces Marat Grigorian.

In the co-main event, ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Mikey Musumeci will make his third World Title defense agianst strawweight MMA king Jarred Brooks.

The ONE Fight Night 13 card is set to deliver a multitude of martial arts across four different disciplines. And while the headlining bouts have received plenty of shine, there are three other fights you shouldn't miss.

1. Tawanchai PK Saenchai vs. Davit Kiria: ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai has enjoyed a fruitful run en route to divisional stardom. But the Thai standout cannot satisfy his hunger for more gold.

The 24-year-old Thai superstar born in Pattaya opens his ONE featherweight kickboxing chapter this weekend. He meets striking veteran Davit Kiria, where he'll look to start his path toward double gold.

But Kiria has a huge opportunity of his own against one of the hottest talents. The Georgian hasn't quite managed to piece it together during his ONE tenure. However, if he can overthrow Tawanchai, Kiria might propel himself up the division.

2. John Lineker vs. Kim Jae Woong: After losing his ONE Bantamweight World Title to Fabricio Andrade, John "Hands of Stone" Lineker is ready to sail back to the land of golden opportunity at ONE Fight Night 13.

The Brazilian brute has become a household name for his thrilling fighting style. And once more, he faces a divisional newcomer who is keen to stand with Lineker for as long as he desires.

Kim Jae Woong enjoyed a lengthy spell in ONE's featherweight division. But after losing last year, the South Korean moved to bantamweight. He now looks to take a stronghold on an entirely new weight class.

The pair's frightful approach to competition means this bout has fight of the night caliber written all over it. And with more at play than just winning and losing, victory will mean that much for whoever lands the final blow.

3. Jhanlo Mark Sangiao vs. Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu: Team Lakay's Jhanlo Mark Sangiao has been one of the fastest-rising stars in ONE in recent times. In fact, Sangiao is part of the next generation of fighters following in the footsteps of the Philippines' most successful athletes.

The 21-year-old is 6-0 and has three victories to his name inside ONE, but his biggest test awaits him. Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu has been a handful for every combatant so far. And his awkward style has seen him go 2-0 inside The Home of Martial Arts.

The Mongolian monster most recently dispatched another Filipino prospect in Rockie Bactol this past May at ONE Friday Fights 17. And should his scrappy, unorthodox style work wonders again, Baatarkhuu could shock the division while silencing one of the brightest bantamweight stars.
