Flyweight striking contender Taiki Naito believes that his fellow Japanese star Nadaka Yoshinari is bound to become a world champion in ONE Championship and thinks that he'll be the inaugural titleholder in the atomweight division.
Naito shared this sentiment during his recent interview with seasoned journalist Nick Atkin, as he stated:
"I'm pretty much sure that Nadaka is a very strong fighter, and if ONE makes the atomweight belt, he's going to get it for sure."
