The champion of the Vietnamese original will have the first battle to protect the belt against the “monster of the Bjj village” Garry Tonon at the One X event on December 5.
Currently, there is a 6-0 win, Garry Tonon has 5 wins with technical and submission. However, Tonon claimed that he himself still “did not have a true Knockout victory” and hoped to do that in the next match against Thanh Le.
“I am very confident that the development of the match will be favorable for me. I don't have a true Knockout victory, so I really want to do it,” Tonon answered in an interview from SCMP.
“But confronting a very good opponent like Thanh Le, taking him with Knockout is quite difficult. I may find the opportunity to take a lock. It's my prediction about the match.”
With Takedown fell and control ability, Garry Tonon is considered one of the best names of BJJ village that has shifted to MMA martial arts.
However, when facing a very good anti -takedown as Koyomi Matsushima, Tonon also shows that once he could not pull the opponent to the floor, he did not have any more effective weapons.
Thanh Le knew this well – that's why the Vietnamese champion came to the champion of BJj Ryan Hall and went to Jackson Wink MMA to train.
“I am sure that pulling Thanh Le to the floor will not be easy. Right from the news that I will fight with me, or even before, Thanh Le must think that he can overcome me at what point.
“However, even when my strength is Ju-Jitsu, I still practice more, progress further. If the object, the lock is not effective, I can still use fists, kicks. Hopefully in the next match I can still make him scared.”
In addition to the match of Thanh Le – Garry Tonon, the other two -point matches of One X have also been announced.
The first is the very specific Hybrid Fight match between the champion Muay Thai Rodtang Jitmuangnon – who is holding the championship in the weight class of Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat – with the legendary MMA Flyweight Demetrious Johnson. It is known that this match will have 4 rounds, of which the first half and the third half play the Muay Thai law and the second half, the fourth half play the law of MMA.
The second is the bantamweight struggle between the champion Bibiano Fernandes – who once made Martin Nguyen taste the defeat – with the “stone hand” John Lineker. Lineker is one of the most terrifying boxers at UFC, so it is not difficult to understand when he continues to spread with impressive victories at One.
