Halil Amir on move to featherweight: "There are very good names here"

Turkish MMA sensation 'No Mercy' Halil Amir is excited to make his featherweight MMA debut in ONE Championship. The former top lightweight contender says he moved down a weight class to take on some big names.

The 29-year-old told Sportskeeda MMA:

"One of the reasons I'm going down is because the featherweight category is very active and there are very good names here."

ONE Championship has some of the best featherweights in the world. There's reigning ONE featherweight MMA world champion Tang Kai, former ONE featherweight MMA king Thanh Le, and submission grappling star Garry 'The Lion Killer' Tonon.

Needless to say, the division is absolutely stacked and Amir can't wait to join the mix.
