Mixed martial arts player Ok Rae-yoon (32) revealed his will to regain the throne of One Championship, Asia’s largest organization.
According to One Championship on the 22nd, ‘ONE Fight Night 10’ will be held on the 6th of next month (Korean time) at the First Bank Center (capacity: 6,500) in Broomfield, Colorado, USA. 1 in the official lightweight ranking of the One Championship, Rae-yoon Ok will play an away match against Rowan Tynerness (33), who has been the champion of Hawaii and the Philippines.
Ok Rae-yoon is a rematch after 253 days (8 months and 10 days) after losing the top due to a failure in the first defense of the title in August 2022. In an interview with the One Championship official website, Ok Rae-yoon said, “If I prove my skills (against Tyner Ness), I think I am qualified to aim for the throne again.”
In 2021, Ok Rae-yoon defeated △former featherweight champion Marat Gafurov (39, Russia) △former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez (39, USA) △lightweight and welterweight combined champion Christian Lee (25, USA/Canada) in turn to win the One Championship Lightweight He became the champion and reached the peak of his career 9 years after his debut in mixed martial arts. 온라인카지노
Ok Rae-yoon’s first match as champion was the second match against Christian Lee (Lee Seung-ryong), a Korean fighter who wanted to regain the throne, after 337 days (11 months and 3 days), but was hit by a knee attack in the second round and was TKO.
Ok Rae-yun said, “Since we lost the last game, we have to win one or two games first.” “Christian Lee immediately did a rematch. (Reacquisition of the right to challenge for the One Championship title) can be justified by adding one or two wins.”
The One Championship website also said, “Ok Rae-yoon wants a third match with Christian Lee. He would want to break the balance of his opponent’s 1 win 1 loss and recapture the lightweight throne,” he responded, saying he understood his feelings.
Ok Rae-yoon said, “I learned that the more important the match, the higher the level of the opponent, the more I have to pay attention to my body care. I realized that even small details are important to compete with the world class,” he said, sharing the lessons he learned after losing to Christian Lee.
When Ok Rae-yoon said, “Until then, I played matches where I could cover up with my skills even if I was not in good condition,” I can feel that he highly praises Christian Lee, who defeated him and re-proven himself as the strongest lightweight in the One Championship.
