Past history teaches us to expect the unexpected in mixed martial arts, especially at its highest levels. The 11 men and women currently in possession of One Championship gold will enter their respective 2022 campaigns with a sense of anticipation. Some will be rewarded with extended title reigns while others will endure very public falls from grace. Such is the nature of the beast in a sport where chaos and tumult lurk around every corner, even in an organization where the pantheon has remained relatively stable. Only three of the 11 undisputed championships changed hands at least once in 2021.
