Martin Nguyen, a former ONE Championship lightweight and featherweight champion, is determined to recapture the latter title. In his upcoming fight at ONE 165, Nguyen will face off against Garry Tonon in what could be a title eliminator. Ranked third at featherweight, Nguyen sees this fight as the perfect opportunity to secure the No. 1 contendership.
Nguyen held the featherweight title for three years before his reign was ended by Thanh Le in 2020. Tonon also faced Le but was stopped within a minute in 2022. Nguyen believes that Le’s victory over Tonon provides a blueprint for his own success in the upcoming fight.
The fight will take place at the Ariake Arena in Japan on January 28th, marking Nguyen’s first time fighting in the home of mixed martial arts. He considers it an honor to compete in front of the knowledgeable Japanese fans.
Known for his devastating overhand right, Nguyen’s striking power has only intensified. He has been diligently preparing to face Tonon, a submission specialist with a BJJ black belt. While Tonon excels in jiu-jitsu, Nguyen emphasizes that this fight is not solely a jiu-jitsu match.
Nguyen holds two wins over Christian Lee, the reigning lightweight and welterweight champion. Although a trilogy match with Lee would be enticing, Nguyen has too much respect for his rival to pursue that fight. His focus is solely on reclaiming the featherweight title.
The featherweight title will be up for grabs at ONE 166 in March, where regular champion Tang Kai will face interim holder Thanh Le. Nguyen predicts that Le will come out on top in this matchup, expecting Kai to be cautious due to ring rust.
In his quest for redemption, Martin Nguyen is ready to give his all in the fight to reclaim the featherweight title. Fans can expect an exciting and hard-fought battle between Nguyen and Tonon.
