James Yang spoke to ONE Championship recently about his upcoming fight.
James Yang’s mindset can be traced back to his childhood
He grew up practicing martial arts and learning about the lifestyle with his father, who taught him self-defense. His grandmother would take him to watch traditional Chinese lion dancing, deepening his connection to the roots of martial arts.
Now, he stands before his toughest test to date – a trip to the ONE Championship Circle.
The Washington native will be taking on a veteran in the Philippines’ Roel Rosario, who is 5-3 with a trio of knockouts to his credit. Despite the gap in experience, James Yang – the debutant – expects to dispatch his adversary in spectacular fashion.
James Yang traveled the world for martial arts
Although he has yet to make his professional debut, James Yang wreaked havoc on the Northwestern United States regional scene, defeating every single man put in front of him.
Additionally, James Yang has traveled the world to diversify his martial arts experience, spending time in Canada, China, Thailand, and around the United States. This quasi-nomadic lifestyle – and the ups and downs that come with it – has significantly aided his preparation for September 24.
