Ben Tynan is advancing towards the MMA heavyweight championship and will take on former title contender Mauro Cerilli after his participation in ONE 167.
Tynan (6-0) boasts a 2-2 record in ONE Championship. He entered the scene in November, triumphing over powerful South Korean Kang Ji-won in the third round.
The 30-year-old also recently competed, swiftly defeating Duke Didier in the first round. Fans admire his flawless fighting history and his distinct choice of denim-style shorts inside the ring.
While Tynan remains undefeated, Cerilli’s journey in ONE Championship has been fluctuating, marked by victories and defeats since joining the promotion in 2018, including a title fight in his debut, where he was stymied by Brandon Vera.
The former Cage Warriors heavyweight champion has secured three wins in six outings, with a notable victory over Paul Elliott last year.
Additionally, a Thai fighter will defend his title in the co-main event. Tawanchai PKS Saenchai Gym will put his featherweight Muay Thai belt on the line against Joe Nattawut in a rematch.
Meanwhile, former bantamweight Muay Thai title contender Liam Harrison is making his much-anticipated comeback. After a two-year hiatus following knee surgery, he is set to square off against Katsuki Kitano in his return fight.
