Former ONE Championship title challenger Garry Tonon will officially return this summer for a rematch with top featherweight contender Shamil Gasanov at ONE Fight Night 34.

A decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Tonon made his MMA debut with ONE Championship in 2018 and stopped the first five opponents he faced before improving to 6-0 with a unanimous decision against Koyomi Matsushima in 2020.

An undefeated start to his MMA career earned Tonon a crack at then-featherweight MMA titleholder Thanh Le in 2022, but Le handed “The Lion Killer” his first MMA loss when he stopped him with strikes in just 56 seconds.

Tonon has successfully rebounded from his failed title bid with three-straight finishes, one of which came via kneebar against Gasanov at ONE Fight Night 12 in Bangkok.
