“This is the most unique, weird, interesting world championship card ever” – ONE Championship’s Chatri Sityodtong explains why ONE X will be a night to remember

ONE Championship’s 10-year anniversary showpiece, ONE X, can be described in one word – amazing. But, in truth, that adjective alone doesn’t come close to adequately highlighting just how action-packed the event is going to be this Saturday, March 26.

The historic three-part card is guaranteed to have fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish and features a plethora of world champions from kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and BJJ.

In a recent interview with The Underground’s John Morgan, ONE Championship’s Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong summarized the promotion’s greatest-ever spectacle as an event that will be a hot topic of discussion for many years to come.

Sityodtong said:

“This is the most unique, weird, interesting world championship card ever done in history by any major global organization. And this is one of those events, five years, ten years, twenty years from now, people will be talking about it, especially people who are in the stadium, and people who are watching the live broadcast with friends in their living rooms or bars around the world.”

The lifelong martial artist, with over 35 years of experience in Muay Thai and a BJJ brown belt, went on to comment on how ONE X will be somewhat of a paradise for combat sports fans.

“It’s one of those mega-events that’s so spectacular. Think about five world title fights, one world Grand Prix fight, one special rules fight, and literally the best of the best of mixed martial arts, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and submission grappling. All in one night, all in one day rather. If you love martial arts, this is like martial arts heaven.”
