Just yesterday, the latest official ranking of the ONE Championship was updated, and China's Tang Kai replaced Jin Juxiong with his outstanding performance in "ONE:X" to occupy the first position in the featherweight rankings. The result was not unexpected, but it marked his official debut as the number one champion challenger.
In the "ONE:X" event for the 10th anniversary of the ONE Championship, Tang Kai was the only Chinese player to play, and he also lived up to the expectations of South Korea's Kim Ju-woong, who ranked first in KO in the first round, showing his strong competitiveness.
After the game, Tang Kai's aggressive and scrappy speech once again won him a lot of attention, "just to make him (Kim Juxiong) die", "You don't know how deep my water is", "I'm going to kill him (Danler), Mother Fxxxx!" And so on "golden sentences" are talked about by boxing fans. The current champion Danler also quickly responded to Tang Kai, expressing the hope that the two sides would meet as soon as possible and compete at that time.
Both Kim and Danler are masters of standing-up strikes, and kim cuts hung out in the previous game to one of the biggest stars of the ONE Championship, double champion Nguyen Martin. Danler, on the other hand, smashed gary Toneng on the ground in the previous game.
It can be said that the performance of three consecutive one-round KO has allowed Tang Kai and boxing fans to accumulate enough confidence, and it is possible to defeat any opponent of the same level by playing Tang Kai, so the probability of him winning the championship this time is very high.
Today's Tang Kai has repeatedly set a new record for the highest achievement of Chinese male MMA athletes in the ONE Championship, and the next step is to truly create history, let us wish him good luck.
