British fighter Ben Woolliss is gearing up for his second outing with ONE Championship, scheduled to take place on May 16 and 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 will see Woolliss go head-to-head with a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
Despite struggling with long-term health issues, Woolliss made a remarkable promotional debut last month, stepping in on short notice to take on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing contest. Woolliss secured a stunning first-round stoppage victory over Lineker, utilizing crippling low kicks to devastating effect. The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese sensation Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title against the formidable Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov.
Gasanov boasts an impressive record, leveraging his exceptional stand-up skills, grappling prowess, and submission expertise to overwhelm opponents. Following his recent victory, which avenged his only career loss, "The Cobra" is poised to make a significant impact.
