“Be in a nice Ric Flair robe” – Ben Tynan wants in on ONE’s next Denver card, plans to go full ‘Nature Boy’ in possible entrance

Ben Tynan is prepared to fully embody the persona of ‘Nature Boy’ for ONE Championship’s upcoming return to the United States.

ONE Championship has recently declared that ONE 168: Denver will take place in Colorado, and the Canadian heavyweight is eager to join in on the event.

Tynan revealed during an interview with the promotion that he has already meticulously planned his entrance, including his outfit, in the event that he is chosen to compete on the September 6 card at Ball Arena.

Tynan announced his intention to honor the iconic Ric Flair by donning a personalized coat similar to the one the ‘Nature Boy’ famously sported in his wrestling bouts.

“I know this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I want a really cool entrance. That’s what I really want, you know, and that’s the only thing. I know they did last time when they were in here in Denver because I went just as a spectator.”

According to Ben Tynan:

“I remember seeing those entrances, the stage, the screens, and the smoke shoots out. I remember going ‘Damn it, I need an entrance like that.’ You know, with the music, it was the craziest show. So if I could do that, and be in a nice Ric Flair robe, maybe just flowing in the wind. Yeah, and fighting’s good too, but I think a lot about that. I don’t know, I’m weird.”

However, Tynan has pressing matters to attend to this weekend.

Tynan must defeat Duke Didier at ONE Fight Night 21 this Friday, which will take place at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and air during US primetime, in order to secure a spot at ONE 168: Denver.

After a spectacular submission victory against South Korean knockout specialist Kang Ji Won at ONE Fight Night 16, Ben Tynan is determined to continue his winning streak by defeating Didier in Bangkok.

Ben Tynan Makes an Impact in Debut, Sends Warning to ONE Championship Heavyweights

Ben Tynan’s larger-than-life demeanor commands attention, but it’s his prowess within the cage that instills a sense of apprehension in others.

‘Vanilla Thunder’ made an impressive debut in ONE Championship, securing a third-round submission victory over Kang during their November 2023 match in Bangkok.

During the same interview, Tynan stated:

“I felt like it was the perfect display of the kind [of fighter that I am]. Because at the end of the day, we MMA fighters practice all types of martial arts. And I love striking, I love getting knockouts. But let’s be honest, at the end of the day, I’m a dangerous, dangerous wrestler.”

Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada can watch ONE Fight Night 21 live and free of charge.
