"ONE" (23rd, Saitama Super Arena)

On the 23rd, the martial arts organization ONE announced that the kickboxing rule match scheduled for the 8th match of the Japan tournament that day, between SB ace Kaito (27) and the first K-1 super welterweight champion Marat Grigorian (33) of Armenia, has been canceled. Grigorian was unable to submit a urine sample within the time limit at the weigh-in the day before, and then submitted one after the time limit but failed to weigh in. He further negotiated a catch weight, but the match was not made and was canceled.

In response to this, Kaito posted on his X, "Today's match has been cancelled. I'm sorry to everyone who was looking forward to it. It's really frustrating that I can't fight after preparing so much, and it's also frustrating to hear all this criticism from people who don't know anything about it. But I'm just going to keep moving forward towards becoming the strongest in the world. If I stay in this weight class, we'll meet again someday. When that happens, let me beat you when I'm in top condition," he said, apologizing and promising a rematch.

Meanwhile, Grigorian used Instagram's story function to write a long message, saying, "I'm sorry to say to all my fans and followers that I have some bad news. I weighed 69.5 kg this morning, but I had to keep drinking fluids for a hydration test (measuring urine specific gravity), and I ended up exceeding the limit by 350 grams!" One would think he would apologize, but then he suddenly changed direction to criticize Kaito, who for some reason did not accept the catch weight, saying, "The weight difference of 350 grams was too heavy for my opponent, so he (Kaito) declined the match!" He continued to criticize his opponent until the end, saying, "I apologize for not staying hydrated! (But) he does not have the fighting mentality of a real Japanese person (Yamato Spirit)! He would be better off playing tennis instead of martial arts!"
