Former title contender Danny Kingad will keep a close eye on the flyweight bout between Australia-raised Filipino Reece McLaren and Finland’s Aleksi Toivonen when ONE Championship returns Friday night
."Who knows, maybe I will meet the winner down the line at some point. That’s why I’ll be watching this fight closely,” Kingad said.
Kingad eked out a split decision victory over the Australian, earning his spot across Demetrious Johnson in the finals, a bout Kingad lost by unanimous decision. “Reece is a very smart fighter. He knows how to take you down and submit you. His striking is somewhat of a weakness, but you can’t underestimate anybody in this game.
Kingad ranks behind reigning ONE flyweight champion Adriano Moraes and 12-time former UFC flyweight king Johnson.
