The ‘ONE’ championship fights have already gained a good following on the Asian continent. To further extend its viewership far and wide into the US, ‘ONE’ had already joined hands with ‘Amazon Prime’. The fans of ‘ONE’ championships can now watch their live events on Amazon Prime. Reports of many more ventures of ‘ONE’ championship agencies and leading media houses have surfaced recently.

Sityodtong announced his new venture with ‘Globo’ for the broadcast of ONE championship fights in Brazil on Facebook. He quoted, “Globo is the new home of ONE in Brazil! Globo is the largest commercial television network in Latin America, with a reach of more than 200 million viewers across its free-to-air, digital, and pay TV channels.”

The ‘ONE’ championship management has struck quite a few significant deals with broadcasting houses this year.

Sityodtong also said that “ONE is already broadcast live on free-to-air, digital, and pay TV platforms in 154 countries around the world.”
Sityodtong thanked everyone who was a part of ‘ONE’ Championship
Every MMA fan knows that taking the responsibility to popularize an entire franchise cannot be completed by a single individual. It requires a team of like-minded people committed to the goal.
Having some loyal fans is an added perk to this aspect. It can help a franchise get popular within a brief period. The boss of ‘ONE’ championships is also pretty well aware of this fact.
Sityodtong went on to state, “Thank you to everyone who is a part of ONE for your passion, excellence, and inspiration in pushing our dream forward together!”.
