Following his impressive debut in the ONE Championship, Britain's Ben Woolliss is scheduled to compete again on May 16, with the event being broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, which will be aired live on Sky Sports in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 16. This upcoming fight will see Woolliss go up against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, Petchfergus, as part of ONE Fight Night 43. Despite struggling with long-term health issues in recent years, Woolliss, who hails from Grimsby, signed with ONE and made his promotional debut just last month.
On short notice of nine days, he accepted his first assignment, taking on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing bout. Lineker is known for his formidable punching power, but Woolliss secured a spectacular one-round stoppage victory, defeating 'Hands of Stone' with damaging 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 against Shamil 'The Cobra' Gasanov. Tang Kai has dominated every featherweight MMA fighter, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, utilizing his powerful stand-up arsenal, grappling, and submission expertise to overwhelm opponents.
After avenging his only career loss, 'The Cobra' is ready to strike and may be unstoppable now.
