We are less than two days away from the historic ONE 166: Qatar event and the fight week festivities are turning the anticipation levels up even higher.

This Friday at the Lusail Sports Arena we will see an incredible three title fights, and a loaded card featuring some of the best martial arts talent both regionally and globally.

As we step closer to the opening bell, the fighters were able to do some verbal sparring on Tuesday as the official press conference took place.

Middleweight challenger Anatoly Malykhin questioned champion Reinier de Ridder’s versatility while predicting a first round KO, Amir Aliakbari laid out his path to redemption, Jarred Brooks expressed his love for Filipinos but predicted a bad night for them and Joshua Pacio, while Thanh Le said he we would be finishing Tang Kai in their featherweight MMA title bout.

Check out all this and a lot more in this wrap up from the electric press conference

ONE Championship returns to the Middle East on March 1 with ONE 166: Qatar at the Lusail Sports Arena, Lusail. A historic night awaits with no less than three title fights planned, and tickets are now available from Virgin Megastore and Q-Tickets.
