Canadian-born MMA heavyweight Ben (Vanilla Thunder) Tynan leaves Bangkok, Thailand with a US$50,000 bonus after winning his debut in the One Championship promotion.
The 29-year-old Tynan submitted South Korean Ji Won Kang on Friday night's One Fight Night 16 card.
"It definitely is a big moment but I still have so much more work to do," he said."I don't really have time to just sit here and kind of celebrate this. I plan to be a world champion one day so I think of this as just a good stepping-stone."He needed just 45 seconds to stop American Cody Sheronick in his pro debut in March 2022.
"Now that I'm with a big promotion like One, these high-calibre guys aren't pulling out. They're dogs too. I get to really show my skills and kind of prove myself."
