Brandon Vera Picks His Top Moment From the Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition

Brandon “The Truth” Vera is a fitness freak and a lifelong martial arts practitioner.  

While he is not busy honing his body and his craft, the Filipino-American athlete enjoys getting himself equipped with the knowledge of becoming a more successful athlete from a marketing perspective. So, when the opportunity came for him to appear as one of the guest stars in “The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition,” he immediately accepted the chance because it entailed everything close to his heart.  

The former ONE Heavyweight World Champion enjoyed the sessions where he tested candidates’ will and determination with strength, endurance, and physical challenges in a couple of the episodes. However, his best moment throughout the filming did not happen on camera. Instead, the 44-year-old athlete singled out dinner with ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong as the cream of the crop. 

“What you guys didn’t get to see is me having dinner with Chatri [Sityodtong], twice, and the education I received that evening just from listening to that man talk about life and things,” he recalled.  

“And being actually able to have dinner with Chatri and have his time for an hour or two, just to hang out and talk, man, it was a huge deal. So, Chatri, thank you very much, boss. I appreciate you.”

Apart from a dinner with Sityodtong, the longtime heavyweight king also mentioned some moments he shared with the other ONE athletes as an ideal experience. 

“I had so many good memories. I’ll share a couple with you and then tell you my favorites. Dinners with Chatri, dinner with Ben Askren, dinner with Sage [Northcutt],” he shared. “Learning a lot from different people. Hanging out with the crew, everyone was so, so perfect. It couldn’t have gone better.”
