Former multi-time WBC Muay Thai world champion Lyndon Knowles of the United Kingdom is ready to make his ONE Championship debut this weekend. And to make sure he impresses in his first fight in the world's largest martial arts organization, the 38-year-old veteran has trained with some of the best fighters in the world.
One notable addition to his training camp has been former UFC title challenger Khalil Rountree, who helped sharpen Knowles' striking tools ahead of the biggest fight of his career.
Speaking to South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Knowles talked about working with Rountree.

"I’ve already picked up loads from him. Like the way he trained, he took me to his strength and conditioning no Monday, the way he recovered, and everything, it’s totally different. I’m still a little bit old school Thai boxing ways - double sessions, hard, hard, hard, and just being around him there especially because he’s a little bit younger than me, but I can see already he’s planning for the long game. He wants to go on for a few more years, so his recovery is really well and I’m learning loads from him."
