Yuri Simoes believes Garry Tonon will become ONE featherweight world champion

 

Yuri Simoes believes Garry Tonon will become ONE featherweight world champion when he takes on divisional king Thanh Le in the main event of ONE: Lights Out on March 11.

The Brazilian grappler is confident that ‘The Lion Killer’s elite grappling skills will power him to a triumphant victory in this return to the Circle at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. However, Simoes pointed out that the No. 2-ranked fighter must keep an eye on Thanh Le’s striking.

“Yeah, I mean, both are really good martial artists. Thanh Le's also a very good striker. I think he's well-around but obviously more of a striker. But I really want Garry Tonon because at the end of the day, you know, he's a grappler, he's a jiu-jitsu guy. And yeah, well, I would like to see jiu-jitsu win, you know?”
