I touched the gloves earlier and thought they felt bigger than I expected. There are some differences. In RIZIN, I fought Buakaw and Usami under kickboxing rules. Buakaw is extremely strong and proven in kickboxing, but in RIZIN he wasn't competing at such a high level. ONE has much higher-level fighters in kickboxing, so I'm really excited to test myself here."Anpo and Grigorian are set to square off at the upcoming ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, which will also serve as ‘Demolition Man’s' promotional debut.ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri will go down live from the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan on Sunday, Nov. 16.North American fans can check local listings for how to watch the show live, or head to onefc.com for more information.Rukiya Anpo bares primary reason for joining ONE ChampionshipWhen ‘Demolition Man’ Rukiya Anpo joined the world’s largest martial arts organization, he did so with only one thing on his mind: getting revenge on countryman Masaaki Noiri, the last man to beat him in kickboxing.Now, Anpo just needs to get past Marat Grigorian at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, and he may just get his shot at vengeance.Anpo said:"I told them, 'I came here to fight Masaaki Noiri.'
