British fighter Ben Woolliss is gearing up for his second outing with ONE Championship, scheduled to take place on May 16, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, with the event airing on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16. This bout will see Woolliss go head-to-head with a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss recently signed with ONE and made a remarkable promotional debut last month. He accepted his first fight on short notice, just nine days prior, and secured a spectacular one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing contest. Lineker is notorious for his formidable punching power, but Woolliss emerged victorious, taking him down with a series of devastating low kicks.
The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil 'The Cobra' Gasanov. Tang Kai has dominated the featherweight MMA division, while Gasanov boasts an impressive record, leveraging his powerful stand-up skills, grappling expertise, and submission prowess to overwhelm opponents.
Following his revenge victory over the only opponent to have beaten him, 'The Cobra' is now poised to strike and may prove unbeatable.
