Thanh Le is set to rematch Tang Kai at ONE 166 in Doha, Qatar on March 1st. In his previous match-up against Tang Kai, Le lost in the world title match and fell short of winning against the Chinese martial. Now at ONE 166, Thanh Le is focused and ready to rematch Tang Kai for the Featherweight MMA World Championship belt. CountFilms.com got to catch up with Thanh Le and talk about his camp, how he plans to takedown Tang Kai, and what it would mean to win the World Championship title.
ONE 166: Thanh Le vs. Tang Kai
This match-up has been a long time coming for Thanh Le. He’s wanted to seek his vengeance for almost two years now and finally gets his chance at ONE 166. Le was originally supposed to face Tang Kai back in October 6th, but Kai had an injury that made him withdraw from the fight. Le then proceeded to win the Interim Featherweight MMA World Championship title against Ilya Freymanov at ONE Fight Night 15. Now, Thanh and Tang will have their highly anticipated rematch to see which MMA star is truly the best.
Thanh Le says he’s “coming out swinging” against Tang Kai
In our interview with Le, he was confident that the first bout against Kai was just a “feeling out process” and that this time around will be very different. Thanh guaranteed a “firework” performance and that his knockout rate won’t be going down with this fight – he’s fully confident that he will get the belt at ONE 166.
