Could the year 2023 be the year that mixed martial arts (MMA) in the United States eventually reverts to its simple, modest origins, developed in Asia approxima
Our goal isn’t to host the bloodiest, biggest brawls, or have two sportsmen yell at each other. One Championship, a Singapore-based MMA promotion company widely regarded as Asia’s answer to industry titan UFC, which is a member of the Endeavour Group and will be merging with World Wrestling Entertainment , said, “That works—for a certain type of audience and consumer.” Hua Fung Teh, president and co-founder of One Championship, stated as much.
“I can’t wait for the American audience to experience real martial arts”, said Demetrious Johnson. The former multiple-time UFC champion, who joined One in 2018, stated, “Fighting on American soil, it’s amazing to be able to headline this historic event.”“Mighty Mouse” Johnson will engage in a trilogy bout with former champion Adriano Moraes. A victory is shared by the two.
“It’s about unleashing real-life superheroes who ignite the world with hope, strength, dreams, and inspiration,” he stated. It’s about parents entering a child’s room and thinking, “Yes, that’s someone worth looking up to.” It’s about kids wanting posters of their favourite sportsmen. This is athletics. Things may become emotional and heated. You leave it in the [ring], the court, or the pitch for us, though. Sports naturally involve rivalry, conflict, and the occasional bit of shoving. But without going over that line, the sport itself has plenty of built-in storylines and drama.
