The featherweight title fight between Thanh Le and Garry Tonon has a new date. The former making the first defence of his crown against the undefeated challenger at ONE: ‘Lights Out’ on March 11th.
The two men had originally been set to face off at ONE: ‘X’ last month. But that show was postponed and the fight has now been moved to a different card.
Le (12-2) won the belt with a stunning stoppage win over Martin Nguyen at ONE: ‘Inside the Matrix’. He has won four fights out of four since signing for the promotion with every victory coming inside the distance.
Whereas Le was already a veteran of ten fights before signing with ONE Championship Tonon (6-0) has never fought anywhere else. The BJJ black belt earned his title shot by winning his first six fights.
Tonon is one of the most decorated grapplers to ever step inside the cage. Le is known for his devastating striking so this all American featherweight title fight looks likely to be an old fashioned clash of styles.
