Yoza will join ONE riding the momentum of a blistering 10-fight winning streak, a remarkable feat that includes a stoppage win over former ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Petchdam Petchyindee.
The Team Vasileus star comes from a karate background, which is quite evident in his graceful movement, blistering speed, and punishing combinations.
Moreover, Yoza trains with killers on a daily basis since he's teammates with 'The Natural Born Krusher' Takeru Segawa and new interim ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Masaaki Noiri.
Yoza carries the gym's trademark aggressive style, since he also gives opponents immense pressure with non-stop action from start to finish.
His crowd-pleasing ways make him a perfect fit for ONE Championship's overall high finishing rate.
Potential matchups for Yuki Yoza in ONE
Yuki Yoza's dazzling resume alone could warrant him an immediate top five opponent right off the bat.
Former world champions like Ilias Ennahachi, Petchtanong Petchfergus, and perhaps even John Lineker are intriguing matchups for the Japanese warrior.
There's also former world title challenger 'Demon Blade' Wei Rui. And of course, if Yoza can string a few impressive victories together, it won't be long before he gets a shot at undisputed ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty.
Stay tuned for Sportskeeda MMA and ONE Championship for news about Yuki Yoza's promotional debut.
