Martin Nguyen has given his prediction for the upcoming fight between Garry Tonon and the ONE Championship featherweight champion Thanh Le.

The Vietnamese-Australian is looking to work his way back into the title picture and is keeping a close eye on the competition atop the featherweight division. In an interview with ONE Championship, Nguyen admitted he’s leaning towards a successful title defense for the champion. He said:

“If I had to pick, I'd say the champ, Thanh [Le], just based purely based on my experience.”
