Lyndon Knowles envisions bringing home the gold at ONE Fight Night 30 on Prime Video
When Lyndon Knowles makes his ONE Championship debut this weekend against double champ Roman Kryklia at ONE Fight Night 30 on Prime Video, the 38-year-old says he will do everything in his power to bring home the bacon.
Kryklia told ONE Championship:
"My prediction is Dom Lau will say ‘and the new!’ There’s no way this is going the distance with two big, brawling baddies like myself and Roman hitting each other in the face. I don’t go the distance. He doesn’t either. So someone will fall."
