ONE Championship 118: Thanh Le goes toe-to-toe, knocks out Martin Nguyen to win featherweight title

BAD MMA News — Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:27:02 +0000

Thanh Le put his faith in his fists and his footwork, and it paid off in stunning fashion at ONE Championship 118. Le (12-2) challenged Martin Nguyen for the ONE featherweight title at “ONE Championship 118: Inside the Matrix” at Singapore Indoor Stadium, Singapore, and went toe-to-toe with fellow knockout artist Nguyen (13-4) for three rounds before eventually stunning the Australian champion in the fourth to claim the title. Le spent the first three rounds presenting a constantly moving target as he worked from the outer reaches of the cage and blitzed in with striking combinations before swiftly moving out of range of Nguyen’s powerful overhand right. After three frustrating rounds, Nguyen upped the intensity at the start of Round 4 and started to connect with heavy shots to the head and body as the champion appeared to be turning the momentum in his favor.

ONE featherweight champion Martin Nguyen reveals Thanh Le matchup, wants it in Vietnam

BAD MMA News — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 17:11:22 +0000

Ever since he stunned Marat Gafurov to capture the ONE featherweight title back in 2017, Martin Nguyen has always had a target on his back. But, rather than waiting for the challengers to come to him, he’s been pushing for fights with the most dangerous men in the division. Nguyen (13-3) explained that he had picked out a shortlist of top contenders and given it to ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong to help get him matched up in his next title defense as easily as possible. One matchup that looked to be on the table was a title clash with grappling ace Garry Tonon, who has gone undefeated since transitioning to MMA with ONE Championship. But Nguyen explained that, despite accepting Tonon’s challenge, that bout didn’t come to fruition. “Yeah, most definitely (I’d fight Garry),” he told MMA Junkie
