International fans praise Thanh Le and Martin Nguyen after their impressive performances in Asia’s biggest martial arts tournament
The main event at ONE: Lights Out is the featherweight title fight between Thanh Le and Garry Tonon. Prior to the confrontation, Tonon was highly regarded as a former jutsu world champion, now having a 6-match all-win record.
However, Thanh Le performed so impressively that his opponent fainted in the first round. After the competition was over, the fans praised the Vietnamese-born fighter’s victory.
“ONE: Lights Out is hilarious. Thanh Le is a real monster,” said one account.
“Good finish for a high-level match. The match between a jutsu master and a knockout artist ended in a brutal way”
“I was very disappointed when Dana White missed Thanh Le in the Contenders Series. He didn’t explain the reason for the decision. It’s great to see Thanh Le shine in ONE.” Alex Behunin’s account mentions a story in 2017 when Thanh Le and Sean O’Malley became two knockout fighters in Dana White’s Contenders Series. However, only O’Malley was signed
“Remind me. Thanh Le was one of two KOs defeated in week 2 of the Contenders Series 2017. Dana White didn’t choose him,” wrote Mikey Bats’ account with the same shoulder icon.

Apart from Thanh Le, another Vietnamese-born fighter, Martin Nguyen, also impressed at ONE: Lights Out. Dropping to the floor after 2 defeats in a row, Martin overcame a tough moment to win by TKO in the 3rd round.
“Perfect performance by Martin Nguyen. He was calm and consistent throughout the match. He has made a significant transformation from his previous fight. The losing streak is over,” said one account.
“Congratulations to Martin on his first win since 2019 against 11-1 opponent Kirill Gorobets. Looks like the devil has risen on their comeback journey.”
