Last weekend, ONE kickboxing champion Su Bobang and UFC champion "The Great" Alexander Volkanovsky met and exchanged ideas at the MMA Training Gym in Bangtao, Thailand.
Although Subobang knew that his next opponent would be Chinziz Arazov, he did not think that there was much honor to pursue after that game.
Subbon said there was no suspense in the match against Arazov and that he would win 100 percent. And after he got one's gold belt three times (once, defended twice), he had to transform into MMA.
Perhaps inspired by the mixed rules match between The Hercules and Rotang on ONE X, Subobang also wants to play such a special rule match first, and his expected opponent is the current ONE featherweight MMA champion Danler.
Perhaps also for the sake of future transition to MMA considerations, Su Bobang came to Bangtao for training, where there are many top MMA players, including Zhang Weili and Wolkanowski, who has just TKO "Korean zombie" Zheng in favor of defending the UFC champion.
Volkanovsky gave considerable support for Subobang's entry into the MMA, stating that Subobang was the top striker and that he didn't have to be a master of jiu-jitsu and wrestling, just not be put down by his opponents.
And Volkanovsky obviously had a very good conversation with Subobang, and he volunteered that he could help Subobang train and make him a beast in the MMA world.
He also gave the example of Adisaya and Brad Riddle, saying that they were both kickboxing and had great success because they now had the right team and the right transition to training.
While that sounds true, Su Bobang is a Muay Thai kick boxer known for his leg technique, and it's not as simple as saying that he uses frequent leg attacks without being knocked down by his opponent. How about Subobang's future entry into MMA, are you optimistic about him?
