“It all depends on what’s going on” - Featherweight MMA king Tang Kai prefers to let knockouts come naturally

Chinese superstar and reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight MMA world champion Tang Kai isn't one to force the issue.

The 28-year-old has a plethora of knockout highlights on his resume, but he always takes a calculated, low-risk approach to getting his finishes.

The highly skilled featherweight actually prefers to let fights unfold naturally, and take finishes as they come. Which is why against unbeaten Akbar Abdullaev this weekend, Tang will be sizing up his opponent and setting up his shots.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Tang shared a glimpse of his fight strategy for his next world title defense.

The Sunkin International Fight Club representative said:

"I usually don’t predict my contests, it all depends on what’s going on during the fight."

Needless to say, Tang can't wait to step inside the ring for the world's largest martial arts organization and defend his gold, and he wouldn't mind getting another finish in the process.
