Chatri Sityodtong pumped for Roman Kryklia vs Iraj Azizpour at ONE 163

Fans around the world will be tuned in on November 19th to see two of kickboxing’s heaviest hitters throw hands in the ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix tournament at ONE 163. Sharing his thoughts on the heavyweight scrap is Chatri Sityodtong, who believes fans are in for a hell of a show when ONE Championship returns to the Singapore Indoor Stadium: “I think Roman versus Iraj is going to be a barnburner. I just sense it. I think Roman is going to come in and try to do the same thing he did to Guto. I think Roman is going to come in and try to finish Iraj in one round.” Sityodtong added: “There's no doubt, Roman is the greatest light heavyweight striker on the planet now. Nobody can [do what he does]. [He’s] six-foot-seven and he hits like a truck, and he moves well, he's just unbelievable.” Watch the presser below: Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
