ONE 166: Qatar – The Ultimate Martial Arts Spectacle
As we enter the New Year, ONE Championship is already surpassing expectations with its upcoming event, ONE 166: Qatar. This highly anticipated card will feature a unification bout for the undisputed ONE featherweight MMA world title between Tang Kai and Thanh Le.
The announcement was made on the popular Chinese social media site, Weibo, where fans were thrilled to learn about this epic rematch. Tang and Le first faced off at ONE 160 in August 2022, and while the fight didn’t end in a knockout as many expected, Tang emerged victorious with a unanimous decision win.
Unfortunately, their rematch was postponed due to Tang’s injury, but in his absence, Le captured the ONE interim featherweight MMA world championship by defeating Ilya Freymanov. Now, these two warriors are set to clash once again on March 1 at Lusail Sports Arena.
But that’s not all! ONE 166: Qatar is shaping up to be one of the promotion’s biggest events of 2024. In addition to the Tang vs. Le rematch, the card will feature two other world title fights.
Jarred Brooks, the current ONE strawweight MMA world champion, will defend his title against former champion Joshua Pacio. This match has the potential to ignite a thrilling trilogy between these fierce rivals.
And let’s not forget about the main event! Reinier de Ridder, the reigning ONE middleweight MMA world champion, will seek redemption as he faces Anatoly Malykhin, the man who handed him his only career loss. With Malykhin holding the ONE light heavyweight and heavyweight MMA world titles, this clash promises to be an epic showdown.
Get ready for a night of non-stop action and adrenaline-pumping fights at ONE 166: Qatar. Mark your calendars and witness the unification battle, the intense title defenses, and the unforgettable moments that ONE Championship has in store for you!
