‘Tungaa’ told ONE Championship in an exclusive interview:

“Of course, his opponent is a strong and skilled champion. I hope that as a result of consistent training, he will win.”

Jadambaa won ONE Championship gold back in 2014, when he defeated Koji Oishi of Japan.

Eleven years later, his student Baatarkhuu has earned the same opportunity to bring honor to their country.

The 36-year-old earned his shot the hard way, winning the Road to ONE: Mongolia and registering a three-fight winning streak that includes impressive victories over Carlo Bumina-ang, Aaron Canarte, and Jeremy Pacatiw.
