On the card, the Canadian powerhouse locks horns with Duke Didier in a heavyweight MMA encounter. This takes place live in U.S. primetime from the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Tynan’s journey in ONE Championship began with a bang in November 2023. Stepping into the ring with the hard-hitting Kang Ji Won, he faced an uphill battle.

Kang boasted a dreaded reputation as a heavy hitter in the world’s largest martial arts organization. However, “Vanilla Thunder” flipped the script and dominated the South Korean with his ground game.

This eventually led him to a submission finish in the third round, acing his promotional debut with flying colors.

Now standing at a flawless 5-0, Tynan gears up for his next challenge against Didier.

Duke Didier guns for redemption at Ben Tynan’s expense

For Ben Tynan, the road to the top only gets tougher from here. Duke Didier is a competitor who should not be underestimated.

“The Duke of Canberra” holds a more experienced record of 8-2, and this includes five submission wins to his name.

As a judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, his world-class grappling acumen poses a unique threat to Tynan’s ascent toward the division’s summit.

Moreover, the Australian bruiser enters the ring with a hunger to redeem himself following a razor-thin split-decision defeat in his maiden ONE appearance nearly two years ago.

Eager to claim his first victory in the world’s largest martial arts organization, Didier will undoubtedly bring his A-game against Tynan.
