British mixed martial artist Ben Woolliss endured a difficult night at ONE Championship after losing a three-round contest against experienced Thai striker Petchtanong Petchfergus.
The bout saw Petchtanong use his vast striking experience and tactical discipline to control large portions of the contest, eventually earning a unanimous decision victory.
Despite moments of aggression from Woolliss, the Thai veteran’s sharp counterattacks and ring management proved decisive throughout the fight.
Petchtanong, a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, showcased the striking pedigree that has made him one of the organisation’s most respected stand-up fighters.
The defeat marked another tough learning experience for Woolliss as he continues building his profile on the international MMA stage.
In the night’s other major contest, Chinese star Tang Kai produced an emphatic performance against Russian fighter Shamil Gasanov.
Tang Kai dominated the fight with relentless pressure and precision striking before securing a stoppage victory that further strengthened his standing in ONE Championship’s featherweight division.
The Chinese fighter’s victory is being viewed as a significant statement as he aims to remain in the title picture following previous high-profile performances in the promotion.
Shamil Gasanov struggled to impose his grappling-heavy style against Tang Kai’s speed and defensive awareness during the contest.
The event once again highlighted ONE Championship’s growing global appeal, with fighters from across Europe and Asia featuring prominently on the card.
