Saturday's blockbuster ONE X event was originally scheduled to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Asian fight promotion, but as it nears, ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong says he's hoping the incredible 20-bout lineup proves to have even bigger significance.
"This is the biggest event in ONE history, and you know, if you look at what we're trying to pull off here, no global organization has ever tried to do an all-day festival from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. with the highest-level world champion athletes in mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, kickboxing and submission grappling – basically all the main combat sports arts and at the highest levels – and with a massive broadcast, 154 countries around the world," Sityodtong told the Underground.
