I hope the Lee family heals from this. What a horrible thing to have happen.

Holy fucking shit for a second i thought that was this Friday. I was about to shit, there’s already a Bellator and PFL that night at the same time. No way could there have been a third promotion too lol
This event will be at 8:30 am EST.

That’s crazy that they are unifying their heavyweight mma title before the US wakes up

So do you guys acktchually know any of the fighters or just hype this because its the cool thing to do?
I dont see any sportsbooks offering odds for these Moo Thai fites, are they fixed?
No big names for the Western audience but even some of the weekly ONE cards that have all Thai vs Thai fights on them have delivered exciting action
The following week @hjr2 posted has bigger names and their MMA HW Title fight with Anatoly Malakhin who has been brutalizing people

This card has no info on the fights which sucks and ONE needs to fix that moving forward. Anybody know how to get ahold of Rich Franklin?
Anyway to answer your question, that is precisely the reason for this thread. Every ONE card I’ve watched, any friend of mine has watched, and any OGer says they watched, the outcome is always, that was a great card, many great fights.
Their rules and enforcement of the rules are all about putting on great fights. UFC is the exact opposite. Fighters can bore their way to victory in the UFC and still have Rogan and Jon Anik suck their dicks on the microphone.
But, ONE has a ton of fighters and I know fuck all about them, and dont know their stories. They definitely should do a better job at that. Marketing. And I created this thread so that we can know more about the fighters and hype up upcoming fights, because they always fucking deliver!
CLIFFS:
If you want shitty fights with fighters you know about, watch the UFC. If you want to see great fights period, watch ONE.

I just wish @anon24302727 would start taking an interest in ONE because he would keep us all in the know. Maybe @MMApurist can too.
As far as ONE goes im a newb

It is odd that they have the Full Card announced below for their Friday Fights 22 Card on 6/23 but not for the 21 Card the week before going down in less than 48 hours.
Even their website doesn’t show and I agree they need to work more on that stuff especially for the Western audience that they have been starting to work on lately.
That following weeks Friday morning Card is looking real good especially for their free YouTube series morning Card standards with their HW Title on the line and thais like Seksan, Superlek, and Glory Champ Sitthichai

If you watch ONE enough, you know who a lot of these guys are. The two biggest problems in Muay Thai were the big gloves and the Thai names preventing any fighter from gaining popularity with a US audience. One fixed that with the 4 oz gloves and letting them go by nicknames.
I’ve been trying to catch the One FC for the last 9 mths or so after finding them on an app in my Kodi build. They have some insane fights and a shit ton of exciting guys.
It’s easy to remember a name like Rambolek

I believe they are all either on Amazon prime or YouTube for free depending on the show.
