Taking in all the action inside the Mecca of Muay Thai, Mikey Musumeci was happy to see Tonon land another incredible finish with his signature move.

“It was definitely beautiful to watch, you know, Gary's one of the best leg lockers ever,” Musumeci told the South China Morning Post. “So he's a legend. And he's showing it again and again. And I was really happy for him.”

With eight career wins under the ONE banner and an incredible 88% finish rate, Garry Tonon has high hopes that his highlight-reel-worthy finish will be enough to score him another opportunity at the ONE featherweight world title.
