Reece McLaren believes he has finally earned his ONE world championship shot

In his last contest, the Australian star pulled off a stunning split decision win over streaking Chinese knockout artist Hu Yong and winning in that manner has him convinced that he will fight for the flyweight MMA world title next.

Reece McLaren stated in the post-fight interview:

"It's been a long run. It's been a long journey, man. I feel like I've paid my dues."

With an impressive ONE resume that includes victories over the likes of Gianni Subba, Tatsumitsu Wada, Xie Wei, and Windson Ramos, fighting for and winning the flyweight MMA world championship would tie it all up perfectly.
