On Friday night in Singapore (Friday morning in North America), at ONE: Call to Greatness<\/a>, former ONE lightweight title challenger Amir Khan will attempt to advance to the second round of the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix with a win over Costa Rican grappling ace Ariel Sexton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now just days away from this fight, Amir Khan says his preparations have been fruitful. He’s tailored his entire eight-week camp to combatting the unique skillset of his upcoming foe, and feels well prepared for the task at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The training has been good,” Amir Khan told BJPenn.com ahead of ONE: Call to Greatness. “We knew my opponent like eight weeks out so I can fully prepare for him. We’ve been training specifically to his style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just going to try not to engage in the clinch so much,” he added, delving into his gameplan for the fight. “I mean obviously I\u2019m trying to keep the fight standing because I know he has an advantage on the ground. We\u2019ve also drilled sequences to get up safely without him getting submissions on me. We’ve just been drilling sequences that might happen. But as much as possible we\u2019ll try to keep the fights standing. Avoid the clinch, avoid close range contact.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Khan is confident in his preparation for this fight with Ariel Sexton, he is certainly not underestimating the risks ahead. In fact, he considers Sexton the most dangerous grappler he’s fought thus far in his 15-fight career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will say, yeah, he\u2019s probably the best grappler I\u2019ve ever fought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given Sexton’s world-class grappling ability, Amir Khan understands that his gameplan could be derailed by a well-timed takedown. Yet he feels prepared for that possibility too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel confident [if it hits the mat],” he said. “At Evolve MMA we have many BJJ black belts and world champions, and I\u2019ve been training with them for so many years. I know if I can hang in there with them, if I don\u2019t get submitted by them, Ariel Sexton will have to try really, really hard. I\u2019ve just got to be smart and not make errors. If I make errors, he might capitalize on them, so I just need to be careful. I have to stay alert at all times.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he’s hoping to keep this fight standing, Amir Khan is willing to ground the action on his own terms if he sees an opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I see an opening I will definitely go for a takedown, for control,” he said. “If I feel any threat, I\u2019ll just get back up. But I\u2019m planning, if he gives me the takedown, I\u2019m doing to take him down, control him, do some damage. We\u2019ll see how the fight goes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal, however, is to stay at range and punish his foe on the feet \u2014 ideally en route to a knockout win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf all goes according to plan, I\u2019ll defend his takedowns in round one, move around, throw kicks,” he said. “Kicks and move, kicks and move. Once I feel he\u2019s hurt a bit I\u2019ll go in for the kill.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Khan is able to dispatch of Ariel Sexton, he’ll advance to the second round of the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix. In this semifinal round, he’ll meet the winner of a compelling showdown between ONE veteran Ev Ting and Turkish juggernaut Saygid Guseyn “Dagi” Arslanaliev, which also goes down this Friday in Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If he advances through that second round battle, there’s a possibility that he’ll collide with the Grand Prix’s biggest name in the finals: former UFC and Bellator lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibility of a showdown with a legend like Eddie Alvarez is one that Amir Khan relishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDefinitely, he\u2019s a big fight for me,” Khan said of Alvarez. “I\u2019d have to step up my game and I\u2019m ready for the challenge. I went on this journey to fight the best, and I feel like he\u2019s one of the best in the world so I\u2019d love to compete with him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI match up good with him,” he added. “I\u2019m very well rounded, and I don\u2019t think he can dominate me in any specific area. I feel like the right game plan at that time will get me the victory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the one Lightweight World Grand Prix is currently taking up all of Khan’s bandwidth, that’s certainly not where his journey ends. The ultimate prize goes to the Grand Prix winner, who will be granted a shot at the victor of the upcoming ONE lightweight title fight between champ Eduard Folayang and challenger Shinya Aoki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amir Khan finds himself a bit conflicted by this Folayang-Aoki title fight. He’s trained with Aoki at Evolve MMA, so he’d like to see him win. Yet he also recently gave up a decision to Folayang, and is chomping at the bit for a rematch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love to get a rematch with Folayang as soon as possible. I still feel I can beat him; I just didn\u2019t fight the way I fight on that night,” he said. “I also train with Shinya, so I hope Shinya wins, but if Eduard Folayang wins I\u2019m ready and I can\u2019t wait to rematch him as soon as possible. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In hindsight, Khan is well aware of the errors he made in his first fight with Folayang, and he’s eager to apply what he learned in a rematch with the current champ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I was chasing one shot too much,” he said. “I was a bit too wary and cautious. I think what cost me in the fight was, in the clinch position, I was too relaxed. I didn\u2019t feel threatened initially, but that\u2019s where he capitalized and threw a lot of elbows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt too comfortable in the clinch. I was just leaning against the cage because I knew he wouldn\u2019t try to take me down. I was too comfortable. He got me with a couple of elbows that shook me for the fight.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ONE Championship lightweight title has always been the goal for Amir Khan, from the moment he first stepped into the ONE cage. That being said, he’s recently discovered some new motivation to strike gold. He’s about to become a father. His first child is due March 15, less than a month after his battle with Sexton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever I do next, whatever happens in my career affects the quality of life I give my baby,” he said, explaining how his motivation has transformed with his first child on the way. “If I become a world champion, I have more sponsorships coming in, it gets better financially, and I can give more opportunities to my baby. I feel more focused. I\u2019m not fighting for myself. I\u2019m fighting for my family.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Amir Khan, the journey to ONE Championship gold, and in turn a better life for his family, begins this Friday when he battles Ariel Sexton in Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes this a fight no MMA fan should miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m 100% sure it\u2019s not going to go to the judges,” he said. “He\u2019s looking for the submission and I\u2019m looking for the KO. Fans should be on the edge of their seats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
