Today I analyse and predict GLORY 99, the Last Heavyweight Standing 32-man tournament. Fan favorites like Jamal Ben Saddik and Bahram Rajabzadeh participate as well as new faces like Rade Opacic and Ahmed Krnjić. I also talk about the GLORY 100 announcements; Rico Verhoeven vs Artem Vakhitov and Tarik Khbabez vs Sergej Maslobojev and GLORY's return to the USA for their new format GLORY Underground, headlined by Chico Kwasi vs Tyjani Beztati. Last but not least, we have to talk about ONE 172, because I was COMPLETELY wrong haha!
In 2024 a lot has happened. GLORY brought back the Grand Prix and dropped the 70kg division, while K-1 brought back K-1 MAX. It was arguably the best era for Featherweight and Light Heavyweight. With established fighters like Rico Verhoeven, Petch and Akihiro Kaneko showing why they are one of the best. And the future looks bright with upcoming fighters like Bahram Rajabzadeh, Miguel Trindade and Kacper Muszynski. What a year it has been! But was 2024 actually a good year for kickboxing? In this video I talk about the VERY BEST (and the not so best) kickboxing of 2024. Like every year I give out awards for those who I think deserved it the most.

Welcome to episode 141, today, we are excited to have Chatri Sityodtong, the founder, chairman, and CEO of ONE Championship, Asia's largest sports media property. ONE ranked #2 overall in 2021 digital viewership with over 13.8 billion video views across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. It sits just behind the #1-ranked NBA, which boasts over 14.5 billion for 2021. The UFC is #5, with 6.6 billion.Chatri has over 35 years of martial arts experience as a student, fighter, teacher, and coach. He is a certified senior Muay Thai instructor under Kru Yodtong Senanan. I apologize if I'm not pronouncing it correctly. He also holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Master Renzo Gracie.For Chatri, the biggest misconception about martial arts is that it's about fighting. He believes that the true essence of martial arts is the journey of continuous self-improvement mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through martial arts, Chatri inherited integrity, humility, honor, respect, courage, discipline, and more. Above all, it empowered him with an unbreakable warrior spirit to conquer adversity in life.Born in Thailand, his rags-to-riches life story has inspired millions worldwide on BBC, CNN, Financial Times, Bloomberg, and other media. At his lowest point, he survived on $4 per day in the United States. His only suitcase contained everything he owned, and he lived on one meal daily. Yet, he didn't grow up in poverty as a child in Thailand. Instead, Chatri grew up in a loving, well-to-do home. Life only changed when his parents lost everything in the Asian Financial Crisis. Poverty ripped his family apart. And his father abandoned the family, leaving Chatri to pick up the pieces as the oldest son.Chatri is a philanthropist, a motivational speaker, and a serial entrepreneur who has founded, invested in, or served as CEO of several successful companies, including ONE Championship and Evolve MMA. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA from Tufts University.In this episode, Chatri will share his insights on martial arts, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, the challenges and rewards of building a global sports media brand, and much more.So, get ready to learn from one of the most influential and inspiring figures in martial arts and business right after jiu-jitsu tribe's message.

Will Chope Interview - The Most Active Fighter in Asian MMA Will recently had a dust-up on social media with the CEO of ONE Championship, Chatri Sityodtong over a post WIll penned about the lack of drug testing in Asian MMA and his opinions on ONEs policies. Chatri would go on to say he agreed with most of what Will said in his post right before sending his staff out to get wills contact info and having ONEs corporate lawyer send a letter threating to sue him if he didn’t take the post down.

A few weeks back ONE Championship announced that they have appointed Plai Asdamongkol as the President of ONE Championship Thailand. While on the surface this might seem like a fairly run of the mill appointment in the industry, this could actually have a fairly significant impact on MMA across Asia. Now, first off, I have to say I know Plai, I like Plai, he’s been on the show before. If there was a single person who has done more for MMA in Thailand I can’t think of them. He’s also a super nice, honest and upfront guy, which I’ll get into why that makes this situation more confusing in a bit. You guys might remember a few episodes back I talked about that very strange deal between ONE Championship and a new organization called GAMMA where Chatri was claiming he was going to work with GAMMA to bring MMA to the Olympics. In that episode, I talked about the important role that IMMAF has actually played in amateur MMA. Well before joining ONE Championship, Plai was the president of TMMAF the Thai chapter of that organization and was a key player in bringing the IMMAF Asian Open to Bangkok. Plai had done a lot of work with the sports authority of Thailand to help sanction and regulate MMA in the kingdom and he had worked with his counterparts in the neighboring countries. He’s sort of good like that. Under Plais leadership of TMMAF, MMA, especially at the grassroots level came a long way in Thailand. We haven’t seen anything change just yet in Thai MMA, but I am sure it is just a matter of time before ONE starts trying to force out IMMAF, which again, is a legitimate organization in MMA and force in GAMMA to further their own agenda. But getting back to Plai actually being a nice guy and why that is worrying. I have heard from a number of ONE employee about how alpha the company culture and I have a very hard time seeing someone like Plai fitting into a culture like that. I would hate to see someone who has been so good for the sport to become a casualty of it. The flip side to that coin and the one I am really hoping for is that Play becomes a catalyst for positive change within ONE and is able to push ideas like a partnership with IMMAF or being more transparent, or perhaps even getting away from the conflicts of interest I’ve covered before. I think that is unlikely, but let’s see what happens. This is a smart move by Chatri, he was able to negate a strong player in the ecosystem and get them under his control. From a business perspective, I can’t argue with it. But as a fan of the sport, it hurts.

We discuss the uproar over ONE's most recent backstage tomfoolery.
Thoughts on ONE Championship’s Agent Certification Program - Asian MMA Podcast Episode 24 This whole announcement was def a head-scratcher for a lot of people. It came just a week after ONE made a big splash by announcing their new production studio that will create movies and shows for digital distribution. On the surface, the underpinnings of the certification program seem reasonable for the most part. But the very first point causes pause… Currently a resident in Asia for at least one (1) year No prior criminal record No history or current ongoing matters of legal or lawsuit activity with any athlete A minimum of 10 years of related experience in the martial arts industry Must possess a College or University Degree Now Chatri would go on to explain in some social media posts that lacked any significant details that this program was being put into place because of some issues several fighters have gone through recently and that exceptions to the criteria could be made on a case by case basis. I came across an article from Low Kick MMA of comments from Chatri that goes into a bit more depth about the stated motivations for the certification program and ONEs willingness to make exceptions to the criteria, I’ll have that linked below in the show notes. Again, on the surface, this all looks like it is being put in place for the benefit of the fighters, and if that is the case then the motivation is great, but it raises some serious questions. One of the comments in the low kick article that I want to quote here because it throws up some red flags for me is. “We started with Asia, because if there is an unethical agent it’s very easy for us in Asia to seek justice because we have strong government and business relationships all over the continent,” Again, even if this is motivated with the best of intentions that quote alone sounds a bit thuggish. I think it would come as a surprise to no one to know that the type of behavior that Chatri talks about does exist, there are a lot of stories, especially in Asia of agents and managers taking horrible advantage of fighters, but there are also the same stories with regards to promotions. It cuts both ways. The biggest issue that comes from all of this is, at least in my opinion is that ONE now has a great deal of control and influence over the fighters and the way they do business, both in and out of the organization. And a clear lack of oversights and transparency just makes the waters more turbulent. There was a fantastic article by MMA Journalist Anthony Walker that was published on Sherdog where he dives into this even further and highlights some of the big conflicts of interest with the whole program. I’m going to link to his article and his twitter account down in the show notes, def check it out and follow him on Twitter he shares a lot of great MMA Content. Anthony points out in his article that US sports organizations like the NFL, NBA, MLB all have some type of agent certifications program, but those standards are not set by the league themselves, they are set by the players association to ensure that it is in the best interest of the players, not the organizations. Something like a players organization is clearly missing from the equation in MMA and is even further from reality in Asian MMA. That doesn’t mean that a promotion should step in and enforce such standards, it’s clearly a conflict of interest and the overwhelming lack of transparency in the way ONE operates makes it that much more concerning. I recently spoke with several ONE fighters who told me their contracts require them to promote the sponsors of ONE Championship without any further compensation, that in itself if it’s true, would se
today we are talking about this absolute bizarre press release that ONE Championship sent out last week. It popped into my email titles ONE Championship announces a partnership with Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts Now, I had never heard of the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts, Or GAMMA since that’s a mouthful. So before i even read the press release I went over to the good old google to see what would come up. The first result, the very first thing at the top of the page, not a sponsored ad, was the site for IMMAF, and trust me, I’ll get to why that is so funny, that's not what google returns now, now their site is the first result, but at the time it wasn’t. But I go down to the second result which is their site, and I click it, their homepage is the damn ONE Championship press release. Not like a news page, or and about page, their home page has a picture of Chatri and a copy and paste of the same press release I have in my inbox. So now I figure they must not really have anything to say about themselves, because everything seems to be about ONE First red flag. So I decided to read the press release. And it gives you the typical flowery stuff about ONE that's in every press release and then it goes on to talk about GAMMA, and says they were founded in 2018, that’s almost a red flag, it’s in my hand, I haven’t thrown it yet, but I’m about to. Then it gets to describing the GAMMA mission: “GAMMA’s objective is to obtain international recognition for mixed martial arts as an Olympic sport, in order to give all amateur mixed martial artists the platform and opportunity to fulfill their dream of competing on the Olympic stage.” Now hold on, that sure sounds A LOT like the mission of the one organization I have known for years has been working towards getting amateur MMA in the Olympics, the one organization whose president has been to every country in Asia meeting with sports ministries to get approval in each country. The organization that if you go to Wikipedia page for mixed martial arts is actually listed as a governing body for amateurs… That's not GAMMA, it’s IMMAF. GAMMA isn’t listed there because they are too young to actually qualify as a governing body. In my experience, no organization has been more involved in helping to develop amateur MMA than IMMAF, I’ve run into their president Kerith Brown in 4 different countries in Asia as he has traveled to help promote and the sport. So knowing what I do about IMMAFs involvement in global amateur MMA and the major role they have played in developing amateur MMA in Asia and that I have never heard anything, at all about GAMMA until ONE sent out a press release which is now their homepage. I have to wonder… what the fuck is going on? Out of nowhere, GAMMA shows up, pretty much has the same mission as the key player in the game, IMMAF and now ONE is their partner? If that doesn’t sound shady, I don’t know what does. Of course, I don’t have all the answers, I don’t have all the information. But when something smells fishy, you have to assume there is something going on. I just don’t
Today we are revisiting the coverage of the ONE Championship TV deal in the US, specifically how it will impact the ONE app users in the states, Which is something that listener Kennedy Serafica asked me over on YouTube. I looked into this a bit more, and when Chatri was on Ariel Helwanis show he had indicated that the app would no longer be free in the US at some point next year. I reached out to some of my contacts at ONE to ask for clarification and it seems as though the app will no longer be available in the US after January 1st because Turner Broadcasting will have exclusive broadcast rights in US market. It will be interesting to see if ONE follows this same strategy with other western markets as they continue to negotiate TV deals. 2019 will most likely give us a better view of that. If you are a US user of the app, keep in mind that you have many mobile VPN options available to you… Just saying. In other news ROAD FC has confirmed that ROAD FC 52 on February 23rd of next year will be the finals of their $1 Million dollar lightweight tournament where Shamil Zavurov and Mansour Barnaoui will fight for a shot at reigning lightweight champ Kwon A-Sol and the US$1 million purse that is up for grabs. It’s been a great tournament and that cash prize at the level that ROAD FC is at for a promotion is fantastic. And that's the type of stuff that makes Asian MMA interesting, we have all this fringe stuff going on that you just wouldn’t see in something like the UFC or probably not even in Bellator. And also soccer kicks and knees to the head… come one now. Lastly, for this episode ONEs first show of 2019 will see the return of one of my favorite fighters, Kotetsu Boku aka No Face as he takes one Bruno Pucci. He hasn’t fought since a brutal knockout by suplex at the hands of Christian Lee back in December of 2017 in Bangkok. I was cage side at that event and Christan slammed him one section of cage away from me and you could see Boku stiffen right up, at one point it looked like he was having a seizure. Even if you watch the video of that fight, ONE does a great job not to show the doctor attending to Boku but you can see everyone looking over at him. They took him out on a stretcher as a precaution, but he ended up being ok in the end. I saw him back at the fighter's hotel that same night. I am super excited to see him back in action, and I am really happy that he took this much time off before fighting again after a KO like that. I would love to see that be more of a norm for fighters.

today we are talking about all the craziness that ONE Championship unleashed on the world last week with the conference leading up to their heart of the lion event in Singapore. I did touch on some of this last week in my news recap, but there was so much of it I really thought it deserved it’s own For most fight fans the biggest news is that ONE will hold a Grand Prix in 2019 for both flyweight and lightweight which are clearly meant to showcase their newest prospects Demetrious Johnson and The Underground King Eddie Alverez. For me, this is a fantastic way to add some drama into 2019 for ONE and to really highlight their talent pools in both those weight classes. Especially flyweight. And with the UFC seemingly disbanding their Flyweight division, we might see ONE pick up some free agents who make this an even more interesting next few months. We also don’t have any word of when or how these Grand Prix events will be bracketed or take place, we will have to wait and see. For me, this rings of the old Pride FC days and I am really looking forward to seeing this get underway. In non-fight news, ONE is investing up to $50 Million into esports and partnering with Dentsu and Razer to build out what looks to be one of the worlds Of course, it only makes sense that Demetrious Johnson will play a role in this new esports. And he will be ONEs esports chief brand ambassador. I had predicted that esports would have something to do with DJ coming over to ONE and now we are starting to see those parts fall into place. But I think this is about a lot more for ONE then just a new vertical that’s hot in Asian. Chatri Sityodtong has said over and Over that ONE is in the Sports Media business, their whole business model is based around bringing as many eyes to their content as possible. That is why ONE doesn’t sell PPVs they give their content away for free because it’s about the eyeballs. I interviewed Chatri Sityodtong earlier this year and he told that approach to their business came from his contacts at Sequoia Capital after they made their first investment. That being the case it makes this a smart play, an Asian esports tournament gives ONE the ability to further leverage their already massive events schedule all around Asia and create not just live events but also an endless stream of video content that will just further attract eyes to what they are doing. The last official news from the ONE summit this week is that former UFC and Strikeforce Champion Miesha Tate has joined ONE Championship in a VP role and will be moving to Singapore to fulfill the role. There is no word on what Miesha Tates role will be exactly, I had reached out to Chatri for comment but did not receive any as of yet. If I had to guess though, I would imagine she will take up a big public role within ONE as she is very good in front of the camera and media does seem to love her. I also would not be surprised to see her take a leadership roll in growing the woman's divisions for ONE Championship. Now that is all of the official news out of the ONE Championship Summit, but a bit of unofficial news and completely speculative is that Sage Northcut could be coming ONE Championship. There was no signing announced, but Chatri did post online about how much he li
Chatri Sityodtong is CEO, chairman and founder of ONE Championship, the martial arts competition based in Asia. The event has enjoyed incredible growth since it started in 2011 but, as Chatri points out, its success will be based on Asian values. His aim is to make ONE Championship the first multi-billion dollar sports franchise from that Continent. This is not MMA, not UFC and a character like Conor McGregor would not be welcome. Take a listen to find out why.
Chatri Sityodtong is the Founder and Chairman of ONE Championship, Asia’s largest sports media property. Chatri started his career as many listening to this show have: he graduated from Tufts University, worked at Fidelity Investments and Bain Consulting, attended Harvard Business School, took a run at a technology start-up, and then spent a decade working at hedge funds, culminating in launching his own fund, Izara Capital, that grew to $500 million in assets. But Chatri’s story is vastly different from any stereotype he may appear on paper. Despite a comfortable life growing up, his family lost everything in the Asian financial crisis. A decade later, despite his financial success, Chatri felt an emptiness and loneliness at the top that he couldn’t shake. Instead of pushing on, he returned investor capital and moved back to Asia. From there, he followed his passion for Muay Thai fighting and began building a budding sports empire. Our conversation tells Chatri’s story, replete with lessons about entrepreneurship, investing, hard work, and the warrior spirit. For those who wonder if a career in the financial markets is the only thing they know, Chatri’s path suggests a different and fulfilling way forward.
