On December 5th, in the "ONE X" large-scale fighting event for the 10th anniversary of the ONE Championship, the ONE Championship not only arranged a dream crossover battle - a mixed-rule duel between "Hercules" Dimitris Johnson and Flyweight Muay Thai world champion "Ironman" Rotang, but also two gold belt defense battles. This includes the one championship featherweight world champion Danler and the world jiu-jitsu master Gary Toneng in a stunning duel.
In October 2020, Danler overthrew Nguyen Martin's rule with a cold punch in "ONE Championship: Duel Lion City" and won the gold belt. After a year, Danler has not yet ushered in a new challenger, and Nguyen Martin, who wants revenge the most, was forced to miss the game due to the epidemic, and the final challenge fell into the hands of Gary Toneng, the "lion killer" of the United States.
Despite his transition from Jiu-Jitsu to MMA, Gary Toneng has perfectly interpreted how to skillfully borrow jiu-jitsu skills to fight the world, and this top jiu-jitsu master has won the IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu World Championship, the two-time IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, and the five-time EBI Tangled Champion. In a duel between The Cross and former lightweight world champion "JumpIng Ten Dan" Aoki Shinya, Gary Tonen used the tangling technique to subdue the former jiu-jitsu legend.
In the "ONE Championship: Burst Boxers" large-scale fighting event last December, Gary Tonen, ranked fifth in the featherweight, defeated the tenacious Matsushima Calendar with his super strong fighting skills such as naked twisting, American shoulder locks, and heel hooks. This battle made more people aware of the horrors of Gary-Toneng.
Since embarking on the mixed martial arts arena, Gary Toneng has won 6-0 and is mature in terms of game experience, the only problem is that Gary Tornen has rarely been hit hard in the past, if the opponent is a rhythm master, can get the game off the ground very well, Gary Tonen will play very hard.
And world champion Danler is such a terrifying standing player. Born into a taekwondo family, Danler has a strong and gorgeous style of blows. Despite entering the professional fight late, Danler did not lag behind in terms of physical fitness, and after coming to the ONE Championship, he successively beat the KO wrestling master Sadulaf with knees, 89 seconds KO "Faceless Man" Park Kwang Chul, 2 minutes and 51 seconds KO Takahashi Yuwu, and knocked down Nguyen Martin in the featherweight world championship tournament, writing his professional record as 12 wins and 2 losses, 11 KO, 1 surrender, and the end rate of the winning match reached 100%.
Challenging the world championship is about honor, and Gary Tornon has been preparing for this game for a long time, and he believes that Danler's tactics against him will be a quick decision, and he will bring the duel to the ground as fast as possible. "He's the top heavy gunner in the world and I want to take him to the ground, it's very important to get closer, but at the same time, I also need to dodge his heavy punches. I need to prepare a very precise tactical plan. Tonon said.
In response, Danler responded: "Gary Toneng's ground technology is really admirable, I am looking forward to this duel, he is right, it will be an epic duel." "But for Danler, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly return to the game, after he has been off for 13 months due to the epidemic and injury, against opponents like Gary Toneng, it is impossible to take it lightly.
