Following his remarkable ONE Championship debut, Britain's Ben Woolliss is scheduled to compete again on May 16, broadcast live on Sky Sports. The event will take place at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, where Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match. This bout will be part of ONE Fight Night 43, pitting Woolliss against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss has made a notable start with ONE, having signed with the promotion and made his debut last month on short notice. His first assignment was against former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing contest, which Woolliss won with a spectacular one-round stoppage. The main event on May 16 features Tang Kai defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov. Gasanov boasts a near-perfect record, leveraging his stand-up skills, grappling, and submission expertise to outmaneuver opponents.
After avenging his only career loss, Gasanov is poised to make a significant impact.
