ONE: Only the Brave finalized the cast of the featherweight kickboxing Grand Prix finals with Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong and Chingiz Allazov earning victories in their respective semi-final bouts at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

It took three full rounds to decide the winner in the main event. Sitthichai fought a smart battle and survived a late surge from Davit Kiria to earn the unanimous decision.

Chingiz Allazov was the first to enter the featherweight kickboxing Grand Prix finals. In an incredible performance, he knocked out Jo Nattawut in the first round at the 0:55 mark. Allazov earned the $50,000 fighter bonus with the early finish at ONE: Only the Brave.

The fourth bout of the main card saw Zhang Lipeng take only 36 seconds to land a powerful two-punch combination to knock out Ruslan Emilbek Uulu. 'The Warrior' scored his second victory in ONE Championship and will also be going home with the $50,000 fighter bonus.

In a heavyweight kickboxing bout, Rade Opacic showcased his power and overwhelmed Francesko Xhaja. The fight ended with the Serbian fighter knocking down his opponent two minutes into the second round to score a TKO win.

In a welterweight MMA bout, a perfectly timed left hook by Hiroyuki Tetsuka to the chin of Edson Marques secured the Japanese fighter a knockout victory. This was the second consecutive win of the 'Japanese Beast' in ONE Championship, with both victories coming by way of knockout.

An intense battle between Jarred Brooks and Hiroba Minowa opened the main card. 'The Monkey God' cut the face of the Japanese fighter in the first round and dominated the ground game in the first 10 minutes of the match.

Brooks landed an accidental low blow in the third round but Minowa shrugged off the pain and continued. The third round ended with both fighters swinging, but the early aggression helped Brooks take home the win via a unanimous decision.
