Following his remarkable debut in ONE Championship, Britain's Ben Woolliss is scheduled to make his return on May 16, with the event broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand. This bout, part of ONE Fight Night 43, will see Woolliss competing against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
Despite overcoming long-term health issues, Woolliss has shown his resilience and determination, making his promotional debut last month. On just nine days' notice, he took on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing contest, achieving a stunning one-round stoppage victory with his debilitating low kicks. The main event on May 16 features Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title for the second time, this time against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov.
Gasanov boasts a nearly flawless record, leveraging his formidable stand-up skills, grappling prowess, and submission expertise to outmaneuver his opponents. Having avenged his sole career loss, "The Cobra" is now poised to make his move, potentially proving unstoppable.
