Martin Nguyen motivated to continue competing at the highest level

The 33-year-old has been competing on the global stage for nearly a decade, securing a pair of world titles along the way. Nguyen is eager to keep competing against the top fighters in ONE Championship, telling the promotion:

“That there, obviously, is the motivation. But for me to be able to compete at the highest level, with the elite, that's what I'm grateful about [as well as] the accolades that come with it.”

Over the years, Nguyen has shared the circle with the likes of Christian Lee, Marat Gafurov, Eduard Folayang, Kevin Belingon, and Thanh Le, amongst others. Not only has he competed against world-class talent time and time again, but he has scored finishes in 10 of his 12 ONE victories.

He knocked out Gafurov and Folayang in consecutive outings to attain both the featherweight and lightweight world titles. His recent losing skid had people doubting whether or not he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.

However, Nguyen put those doubters to sleep with his dominant showing against Leonard Casotti at ONE Fight Night 7.
