ONE Championship is set for a massive push in the United States after its highly successful debut in the country last May.
ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced that The Home of Martial Arts will hold four events in the US next year, as the promotion looks to pick up from its strong start in the western nation.
“I am thrilled to announce that ONE Championship is coming back to the U.S. with four massive events in 2024. When we made our historic U.S. debut with ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, I was blown away by the support we received from our fans in the U.S.,” Sityodtong said.
“ONE is home to the greatest martial artists in the world, and I’m excited to once again showcase our World Champions on American soil. To our fans that haven’t seen a live ONE event, I promise you an experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen.”
ONE started its North American conquest by partnering with streaming and retail giant Amazon, striking a 12-event deal that’s been airing in U.S. and Canadian primetime through Prime Video.
Last May, ONE finally made its long-awaited debut on American soil with ONE Fight Night 10 in Denver—an event that was welcomed by the hardcore MMA fans in the states.
The show was headlined by the greatest of all time in ONE Flyweight World Champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, who wrapped up his rivalry with Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes.
Some of the best Asian fighters also made a great account of themselves in ONE’s debut, with ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon and former two-sport queen Stamp Fairtex gaining new fans in the country.
ONE’s also home to some of the best American fighters in various sports, from ONE Strawweight World Champion Jarred Brooks in MMA, ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Mikey Musumeci, and ONE Women’s Strawweight Muay Thai top contender Jackie Buntan all making a name for themselves in the organization.
