Thanh Le said he was ready for Round 6 with Tang Kai after their five-round war for the ONE Featherweight MMA World Championship in August 2022. After over a year of waiting and another bout to become the interim titleholder, he finally gets his shot. The unification bout for the featherweight crown goes down at ONE 166: Qatar on Friday, March 1.
The loss has continually eaten away at him. It has bothered him not so much that he lost but that he did not put forth the performance he wanted to have. He’ll have a chance to rectify that situation inside Lusail Sports Arena.
