One Championship: Mark Of Greatness Predictions

In what is One Championship’s last big event of the year, Mark Of Greatness has two title fights on the card which are really fun too so I don’t want to waste anymore time - I just want to predict this card.

Ryuto Sawada Vs. Bokang Masunyane

Bokang Masunyane is the number one ranked South African flyweight fighter in the world with a record of 6-0. He takes on Japanese fighter, Ryuto Sawada who has a record of 12 wins, 4 losses and 1 loss. This is a really good fight I believe as I do believe it’s a toss up but I’m predicting that Masunyane extends his winning streak? It’s a very close fight so I’m going to go with the undefeated fighter.

Prediction: Bokang Masunyane (Decision)

Andrei Stoica Vs. Anderson Silva

This isn’t the former UFC middleweight champion but instead Brazilian kickboxer with a record of 52-18-1, he takes on fellow welterweight kickboxer Andrei Stoica who has a record of 50-12. I’m really excited for this fight - I love seeing kickboxing in One and despite there not being a welterweight kickboxing championship as of yet, the winner will be closer to getting a shot at it when there is one introduced. I’m predicting an Anderson Silva win by knockout in the first round.

Prediction: Anderson Silva (1; TKO)

Gurdarshan Mangat Vs. Reece McLaren

Mangat hasn’t lost a fight since 2017 when he was stopped by Stephen Loman but since then Mangat has been winning good fights but he takes on Reece McLaren - a well rounded fighter. Just like every fight on this card, it’s a hard one to predict so I guess I’ll go with McLaren by decision. It’s just so hard to predict!

Prediction: Reece McLaren (Decision)

Agilan Thani Vs. Dante Schiro

Keep an eye out for Dante Schiro. I believe Schiro can be a key fighter in MMA and he makes his ONE Championship debut this Friday. I’m going with a Schiro victory by a second round submission. The fight is taking place in Thani’s hometown so all eyes are on him but I don’t see him winning this.

Prediction: Dante Schiro (Round 2; Submission)

Jihin Radzuan Vs. Denice Zamboanga

Both women have 5 wins each, with Radzuan having a loss. It’s a really tough fight but I’m giving the edge to Radzuan purely down to her having six fights over Zamboanga’s five but I also wouldn’t be surprised if Zamboanga pulled off the victory.

Prediction: Jihin Radzuan (Decision)

Alaverdi Ramazanov Vs. Zhang Chenglong (ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing Championship)

This fight is for the inaugural ONE bantamweight kickboxing championship and it’s really good. Chenglong is only 22 which is mad if I’m being honest and Ramazanov is a great fighter who has lost 5 of his 65 fights. I’m really interested in this fight but I’m predicting the exciting Chenglong to get the win and pick up the strap here.

Prediction: Zhang Chenglong (1; TKO)

Sam-A Gaiyanghadao Vs. Wang Junguang (ONE Strawweight Kickboxing Championship)

The main event is also another bout for an inaugural kickboxing championship but this one is for the strawweight title. I remember watching Junguang’s last fight and it was so dominant and his opponent may be good but they don’t specialise in kickboxing like Junguang does so therefore I’m predicting a stoppage in the third round by Wang Junguang.

Prediction: Wang Junguang (3; TKO)
