Martin Nguyen looking forward to ‘experiencing’ America if he makes US card

'The Situ-Asian' Martin Nguyen has a major fight coming up as the former two-division world champion still wants to compete at ONE Championship's debut event in the USA later this year.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting ONE to touch down stateside. The wait is nearly over, as ONE Championship will host its inaugural event at the 1st Bank Arena in Colorado, USA, with ONE Fight Night 10 booked for May 5.

Meanwhile, the Australian-Vietnamese fighter Martin Nguyen has an upcoming fight at ONE Fight Night 7 on February 24, but still wants to compete later this year at the historic event in America.

In an interview with ONE Championship, Nguyen explained:

"I'll probably make a holiday out of it afterward, finally. Every single time I've stepped foot in the US has always been in training camps or something for business. I never really had a chance to travel around and experience it. America."

Given the chance to compete in the US, 'The Situ-Asian' plans on making it a major event. He continued:

"So, if it does happen, then I'll take it with both hands. But if it doesn't, then I still won't be mad. I'll still probably be here in fight camp and probably flying over there watching it live. So, you'll never know."

Despite fighting all around the globe, he has yet to fight stateside. When asked if he has experience competing in the United States, Martin Nguyen revealed:

"No, never in the US just all over Asia and Australia."
