Gasanov has to wait for nearly half a year to compete an additional match at ONE Championship. His upcoming opponent is Garry Tonon, who had the opportunity to play a belt match of One. As one of the key experts, Tonon once had a achievement to win until he encountered Thanh Le and received defeat.
Garry Tonon's professional MMA competition is 7 wins, 1 loss. Meanwhile, Gasanov is still keeping an unbeaten achievement with 13 wins. The winner in the match between Tonon and Gasanov can be promoted to fight the One Championship championship later this year.
Proposing belt with tonon or Gasanov is likely to be Martin Nguyen. Viet Kieu boxers are in good performance recently. At the age of 34, Martin Nguyen is still one of the most favorite boxers of One Championship, and he wants to stick the rest of his career with this tournament.
Meanwhile, Thanh Le had just missed the stretching match because the opponent Tang Kai was injured.

He had to wait for Kai to completely recover to challenge to win the belt in the near future.
