One Championship Secures Major Equity Investment, Plans to Hold as Many as 30 Events in 2018
Singapore-based mixed martial arts promotion One Championship has
raised more than $100 million since its inception in September
2011, according to a report from the
Associated Press .
A “major equity investment” from venture capital firm Sequoia India
and investment firm Mission Holdings likely signals even more
growth from what is already Asia’s largest MMA organization. One
Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong told AP that the
promotion is planning on holding between 24 and 30 events in 2018
after staging 18 fight cards by the conclusion of this year.
One Championship’s expansion could see events taking place in
Japan, South Korea and India at some point in the future. Further
growth into China is also planned.
“Already we’re the largest martial arts organization in the history
of Asia,” Sityodtong said. “All the pieces suggest that we have a
big, big runway of growth ahead of us and that we’re just
scratching the surface of our potential.”
In the report, Sityodtong also discusses why One Championship is
still able to surpass the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the
Asian market.

“You look at any other Irishman, no other Irishman got swag like that,” said Lee, No. 8 in the current USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings . “He’s a culture vulture. He is what he is. But I think he doesn’t understand the culture. He’s trying his best, and it’s just something that he didn’t grow up with. He ain’t grew up over here in the States. He doesn’t understand it to the core. He kind of understands it a little bit, but he don’t really understand it.

Bellator 181 Averages 573,000 Viewers, Peaks at 912,000 for Campos-Girtz 3

most entertaining fights of 2017 thus far.
All told, the entire Bellator 181 broadcast attracted 573,000

contender John Salter

Video: Watch Documentary Footage of 22-Year-Old Jon Jones Before He Was UFC Champ
It seems hard to believe, but Jon Jones ,
once the youngest light heavyweight champion in UFC history, turns
30 years old today.
A lot has happened since Jones defeated Mauricio Rua
to capture 205-pound gold at UFC 128 on March 19, 2011, but it can
be interesting to take a look back at the polarizing superstar
before he reached unprecedented heights. The 2013 documentary “The
Proving Grounds,” directed by The Mash-Up King and available on
iTunes , captured Jones’ rising star as an up-and-coming
athlete.
In a clip released in honor of Jones’ 30th birthday, watch as
Jones’ father, Arthur, and his late mother, Camille, share stories
about their son and coaches and teammates discuss “Bones’”
considerable talents. Jones himself even weighs in on the trappings
of superstardom, and his words carry even more weight today.
“Being a rising athlete in the sport of mixed martial arts can
definitely be hectic. It can be a lot to handle,” he said. “There’s
a lot of pressure having so many options at a young age…”
Jones will return to the cage in an attempt to reclaim the light
heavyweight title against rival Daniel
Cormier at UFC 214 on July 29.
