With Demetrious Johnson leaving ONE Championship’s flyweight throne vacant, the rest of the division is trying to make themselves the most attractive option for the crown. At ONE Fight Night 26 on Friday, December 6, #2-ranked contender Yuya Wakamatsu will try to do the same. He welcomes Gilbert Nakatani to the organization and plans to spoil his party to keep pace atop the division.
“It could be risky, depending on how you look at it. But I feel I have an advantage because of the experience I’ve gained competing in ONE. It’s like defending my home turf – I have a strong determination not to lose,” Wakamatsu said to ONE.
