ONE Championship is a major combat sports organization based in Singapore, founded in 2011 by entrepreneur and martial artist Chatri Sityodtong (with Victor Cui also involved in its early leadership). It has grown into Asia’s largest martial arts promotion, showcasing not just mixed martial arts (MMA) but also Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling at world-class events broadcast globally in over 190 countries. ONE emphasizes traditional martial arts values such as respect, courage, humility, and integrity while telling fighters’ personal stories to inspire audiences beyond just competition.
Unlike many other MMA promotions, ONE blends multiple disciplines in single cards and has expanded into different formats and regions, with flagship numbered events, ONE Fight Night shows on Amazon Prime Video, and weekly Friday Fights at venues like Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. Its mission combines high-production sports entertainment with cultural celebration and martial arts heritage, helping it stand out on the global combat sports stage.
