The Kannadiga currently holds a professional record of 11-2 and is coming off a dominant victory against Nawras Abzakh. Upon signing with ONE Championship, Kantharaj had revealed that he wants to the ONE Flyweight World Champion.

“My goal is to become the ONE Flyweight World Champion. I want to prove that an athlete from a small town with limited facilities can do great things with hard work,” he said during his interview with ONE Championship.

He had also revealed that he would love to fight Demetrious Johnson at some point.

“I want to fight Demetrious Johnson. I want to compete against him and test my skills against him so that I know the difference between us. Winning against him would be like a dream come true.
