Ev “ET” Ting

Status: Former ONE Athlete

Malaysian martial arts star Ev Ting is one of the world’s best lightweights, and blazed a trail across Asia, New Zealand, and Australia before making waves on the global stage of ONE Championship. He then proved his mettle almost immediately, winning several bouts against top opponents to challenge for the ONE Lightweight World Championship in 2017.

Originally born in Malaysia, Ting moved to New Zealand with his family at a young age. He was a promising soccer player in school, but in 2009, he decided to switch his focus to mixed martial arts and began training at a local gym in Auckland. After enjoying success on New Zealand’s budding amateur scene, he made a successful professional debut in 2011 to kick off a highly-successful cage career.

Ting currently boasts an impressive record, including wins over proven contenders such as former ONE Welterweight World Champion Nobutatsu Suzuki, Ariel Sexton, and Kamal Shalorus. One of the promotions most exciting finishers, Ting is dangerous in all areas of the game, having stopped bouts via a variety of punches, kicks, and submissions.
