After being knocked out by South Korea's "God of War" Kim Jae-hyung last year and suffering two consecutive losses in his career, Ruan Martin made a strong comeback in "ONE: Eternal Light" in March this year.

Ruan Martin believes that he now has the ability to take revenge on Kim Jae-hsiung. "For me, the revenge fight against Kim Jae-hyung has a special meaning. I came back from the injury and I feel great. Now I am strong, faster and feel good. I can't wait to do it again." Fighting. I have to focus on fighting more than ever. I have become stronger and know how to fight, whether standing or on the ground, as long as I take the opportunity, everything will be over.โ After that, I probably wonโt be back on the court for a short period of time. When Martin Nguyen heard that the "King of the Underground" Eddie Alvarez was considering lowering his weight to fight at featherweight, he couldn't wait to extend an olive branch. โI think Alvarezโs experience and ability are tremendous. I welcome him to the featherweight division. Iโm sure if he can beat me heโll be in the top five and be a top three title contender. โ
After Alvarez joined the ONE Championship in 2019, he suffered successive setbacks in his lightweight campaign. He fought in a total of 4 games and only won 1 game. The rest were 2 losses and 1 inconclusive game. . After being KOed by Timofey Nastushkin and defeated by the current lightweight world champion Yin Yulai, Alvarez is getting further and further away from the right to challenge for the championship. But the 38-year-old legendary boxerโs dream of becoming a champion still exists in his heart. He has won the Reality Fighting welterweight world championship, Bodog Fight welterweight gold belt, Bellator and UFC lightweight gold belt, and signed a contract with ONE The reason for the championship match is that he wants a new world championship belt. If the lightweight path fails, he also wants to try the featherweight class. Martin Nguyen: "Alvarez is the most experienced legendary fighter in ONE Championship. He doesn't need to prove anything anymore. He is qualified to fight me. Why not? If he can fight me, he will be a star." Everything is perfect, I'm very excited about this idea. I'm here to say to Alvarez that I'm ready to sign the contract. "
If Alvarez. Varez wants to get the right to challenge for the championship as quickly as possible, so the third-ranked Ruan Martin is indeed a good opponent. After being downgraded, Alvarez's size is no longer a disadvantage, and his experience and comprehensive tactical style will also bring new vitality to the featherweight division.
