MMA: Kingad challenges Akhmetov to try out his striking

After two postponements, the No. 2 and No. 4-ranked flyweights will finally go at it in the main event of the previously taped ONE: Winter Warriors II, which airs on December 17 from the Singapore Indoor Stadium. “It’s been years. I’ve been wanting to face him for a long time. Unfortunately, our match got canceled twice. Now it’s a different kind of excitement for me. I’m facing someone that I’ve always wanted to face.

Known predominantly as a wrestler, the striking of the Kazakh training out of Tiger Muay Thai poses serious threats to anyone in the division. That improvement isn’t lost on the wushu dynamo from the Philippines. “He also said that he wants to strike with me, so I’m really motivated by that. I hope he knows that he’s facing a deadly striker.”

The 26-year-old Filipino sensation held off from predicting an outcome for his match but bared that he’s ready to take on Akhmetov wherever this match goes.
