Former ONE world title challenger 'The King' Danny Kingad says shifting his focus to fighting in America to fighting in Thailand hasn't been that much of a mental adjustment.
ONE 169 on Prime Video, which was earlier scheduled to take place in Atlanta, Georgia's State Farm Arena, has now been effectively moved to famous Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. And Kingad says he's had enough time to adjust and tailor his training for the big change.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Kingad was quick to assure fans he has everything under control.

'The King' said:
"No, there are no changes in our camp in terms of preparations. We’re just pushing through with what we’re doing. It’s a good thing that we were informed earlier about the change of venue though, at least it’s not that big of a shock."
Needless to say, Kingad will need to be at his absolute best when he makes his highly anticipated return to the ONE Championship ring next month.
Not only is he taking on an absolute legend of the sport, but also a man he wants to beat once and for all.
