“The next event of One Championship in the US will take place in September. The venue for the event is Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.” It is the latest announcement sent by the President of ONE Championship Chatri Sityodong to the media agencies about the international competition plan in the near future.
The first one Championship organized an event in the US in 2023, when they decided to bring One Fight Night 10 to the city of Broomfield, Colorado. The level of success of that event has exceeded all the organizers' predictions. All tickets are sold out very early, and the event also has a record number of viewers.
One of the reasons for One Championship to be loved in the US is because One Fight Night 10 has a former UFC Demetrious Johnson. “Mighty Mouse” has left UFC to join the One Championship since 2019. However, the attraction of Demetrious Johnson with American fans is still very large.
In addition to Demetrious Johnson, many other ONE Championships such as RotDang Jitmuangnon and Stamp Fairtex are also warmly received by the public. Their attraction is the reason why One Championship realized that the North American market not only received MMA matches, but they were also ready to watch Muay.
Success from One Fight Night 10 makes One Championship decide to continue bringing major events to the US. They even expressed their ambition to organize four events in the US in 2024. However, this plan eventually has to step back until September. ONE Championship also wants to organize quarterly in the US.
