Tang Kai and Thanh Le went toe-to-toe for five rounds the first time they met, but both men wanted a more decisive end for their rematch. At ONE 166: Qatar, they got their chance in a ONE Featherweight MMA World Title unification rematch. In the end, it would be Tang who scored a third-round TKO finish to leave no doubt as to who the top dog was in the division.
The Chinese star pressured Le throughout the action. The feints and power led to the finish. Tang bluntly told ONE Championship that was the plan all along.
