Chinese kickboxing phenom Rui Wei wasn’t very impressed with his own performance at his recent ONE Championship debut.
on May 3. Wei earned a controversial unanimous decision win over Akimoto, which should have gone the other way, according to ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
“I think I just passed this test,” Wei said at the post-fight press conference. “I try my best to adjust to the ring in ONE Championship. And I feel like next time, I will perform better… Before they announced the result, I wasn't 100 percent confident that I would win. But I still believed everything went well for me to get the victory… This is my debut in ONE Championship, and I think it wasn’t really . But I’m super motivated now.
“I think Hiroki is a very tough, strong, opponent,” he said. “As you all know, his kicks and his attacks are always crazy and powerful, and compared to my other opponents before, I feel with this kind of opponent. He did a lot of crazy things. But he didn’t really dominate the fight as you could see him struggling, he can’t fight at my pace and I’m always unpredictable. That is also my greatest technique.
