“I’m going to give it my all” – Martin Nguyen promises to put on a show versus Garry Tonon in Japan

Former ONE featherweight and lightweight MMA world champion ‘The Situ-Asian’ Martin Nguyen can’t wait to put on a show for all of his fans who have kept supporting him throughout his career.

Despite losing his world title in 2020 to Thanh Le, Nguyen has kept focused on regaining his lofty perch atop the ONE Championship featherweight MMA ranks. Surprisingly, he hasn’t lost many fans and continues to be one of the most popular fighters in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Nguyen says he will dedicate his next fight to the fans.

‘The Situ-Asian’ said:

“Just keep tuning in. I appreciate all the support and appreciate all the love I’ve been getting. Yeah, I do this for my family, but I also do it for you guys purposely for entertainment. So, I'll go out there, I'm going to give it my all and you know, hopefully put on a show for you guys.”

Of course, Nguyen will have an all-important chance to position himself for the next world title shot if he defeats his upcoming opponent.
