ONE In The Media

Part of ONE Championship’s mission in Asia is to bring its unique vision of authentic martial arts to all corners of the region, from its far reaches to even the wonderful nation of India. ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong is in the country to speak at the prestigious 2017 Global Entrepreneur Summit (GES) and had the opportunity to take part in a private audience with His Excellency Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India.

Sityodtong firmly believes that the roster of world champions from ONE can go head to head with the world champions from North American MMA giant the UFC.

He admitted that critics have accused him of winning easy fights and getting “lucky” knockout punches, but Singapore mixed martial arts exponent (MMA) Amir Khan believes he has proven the naysayers wrong with his latest victory.

This Muay Thai practitioner earned his degrees from Harvard. And now he is known as “Asia’s King of Martial Arts.” We meet Chatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship.

At One Championship’s Immortal Pursuit event last night, local mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Amir Khan strode to the ring accompanied by The Weeknd’s hit song “Starboy”. The tune was apt, as he went on to cap a splendid night for Singapore’s MMA exponents at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, by beating Australia’s Adrian Pang via unanimous decision.
