On episode 238, Thanh Le, the ONE Championship lightweight champion, comes on the show to talk about his fight with Jiu Jitsu standout Garry Tonon. In this podcast, we chat his martial arts upbringing as a taekwondoin, the fight with Tonon itself, becoming champion, and not being able to eat king cake in South Louisiana during Mardi Gras season.
Thanh Le captured the belt against Martin Nguyen in 2020. Throughout his career, all the fights he has been in, win or lose, have not gone to the judges. Every time he fights, Le looks to go out there and finish a fight. You don’t want to miss his action packed event at ONE Championship: Lights Out.
Garry Tonon: “Anybody that’s stuck around long enough has been in one of those five round wars”

The second podcast stands across from Thanh Le: Garry Tonon. Tonon comes into ONE Championship: Lights Out looking to become a champion at only 7-0. With a storied background in Jiu Jitsu and a meteoric rise in his translation to mixed martial arts, Tonon is one win away from becoming a champion. In this podcast, we talk about the upcoming fight, training with John Danaher, and if he’d rather give Gordon Ryan a leg lock or get punched by Francis N’Gannou.
Garry Tonon is an ADCC champion and a grappling specialist. His 6-0 record has seen five finishes with two being by knockout, surprisingly. He goes into the ONE Championship: Lights Out card looking to become a two sport champion. Should he win, Tonon will become one of the biggest stars in the sport.
