Reece McLaren believes his latest win over Yong Hu warrants a long overdue title shot in ONE Championship.
McLaren returned to action after a year on Friday, scoring a split-decision win over Hu at One on Prime Video 22. The win saw “Lightning” bounce back from a unanimous decision loss against Kairat Akhmetov and better his promotional record to 10-6. The Australian veteran believes he is at a point in his career where he is never too far removed from the title picture.
“I feel that I am, at any stage, on any win, one step away from that world title shot,” McLaren said at the post-fight press conference.
