Garry Tonon hasn’t given up on his title aspirations.
Despite getting knocked out in his first ONE Championship title fight last year, Tonon (7-1 MMA) is still in search of the promotion’s featherweight belt, and even beyond. He’s not going to let the defeat discourage him from his goal of becoming featherweight champ, and then challenging to become a two-division ONE Championship titleholder.
“I definitely want to be a featherweight champion at ONE Championship,” Tonon told MMA Junkie. “I’ve always had my eyes even further than that. I came in this organization watching Martin Nguyen, who was a two-division champion. I want that fight, but would also want to do the same thing he was able to do. I know getting ahead of myself here because we haven’t won this championship yet, but that’s what I would love to do.
