This is a long-awaited rematch between the two fighters. The last time these two met was in 2018, and Grigorian knocked out Superbon in the first round. Since the defeat, the Thai fighter has won 11 straight fights. In his last outing, Superbon became only the second fighter ever to knock out Giorgio Petrosyan.
Meanwhile, Grigorian is currently on a six-fight win streak. His last fight was against Andy Souwer and he won that via a second-round TKO. With four years between their fight, both fighters have massively improved. Both would want to showcase their superiority over the other inside the cage and get the win.
