Ben Tynan is the 2014 Canadian Wrestling Association Youth Championship Freestyle-120kg Champion, and Duke Didier is the 2016 7th Oceania Judo Union (OJU) Championship-100kg Gold Medalist.
In August 2023, One Championship did not hide its expectations for Ben Tynan on its official website, saying, “We have welcomed one of the best prospects in mixed martial arts who is capable of winning the right to challenge for the heavyweight title.”
Last November, Ben Tynan successfully made his debut in a major tournament by defeating Kang Ji-won (29), who boasts a 100% KO win rate in the One Championship, in 1 minute 22 seconds in the third round. He also received a competitive bonus of $50,000 (67.4 million won).
Duke Didier achieved great results not only in Oceania, but also in the United States and Europe, including a bronze medal in the unlimited class at the 2010 US Open (@Miami) and a silver medal in the 100kg at the 2012 British Wales Open (@Cardiff).
Ben Tynan is also an all-star at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Tournament, and placed 4th in the Big 12 Conference Championship of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1. His performance in not only junior wrestling but also senior wrestling – 129kg is also considerable. Ta.
The mixed martial arts career is led by Ben Tynan. He has won 13 straight fights, including eight amateur bouts. He was a three-time American heavyweight champion: ▲Six Feet Under, ▲Northwest Fight Challenge, and ▲Tuff-N-Uff.
Duke Didier is a former Australian BRACE light heavyweight champion. In June 2022, after losing a 1-2 decision in his first One Championship match, he will make a comeback against Ben Tynan for the first time in 673 days (1 year, 10 months and 3 days).
One Championship’s homepage states, “Ben Tynan showed strong competitiveness against Kang Ji-won and left a deep impression.” If he can defeat Duke Didier, he will create positive momentum (for the legacy of mixed martial arts). As he continues, he will gain the momentum to face anyone in the heavyweight division.”
