ONE Championship is back again with yet another exciting lineup for the 2025 PRIME Events Calendar. Going live on Prime Video, the fight promotion is scheduled to feature ONE 169 on November 8, and ONE Fight Night 26 on December 7. 

The upcoming events for 2025 are also scheduled, and out of the 12 events, 2 are set to bring the contenders into America for their bouts. Let’s see what ONE Championship has in plan for the fight fans. 

ONE Championship plans to feature 2 events in the USA

Back on September 6, the fighting community witnessed ONE 168 that took place in Denver. The gates for the event were a massive $1.28 million and nigh on sold out the Ball Arena. And now, the organization has planned to take two events to American soil on the 23rd of May and the 5th of December in 2025.

But there was one other event that was supposed to take the fighters to the US. ONE 169 was initially set to bring the fighters into Atlanta and let the fight fans have a chance to witness the battles in one of Asia’s most successful fight promotions. However, the plans to bring ONE to Atlanta failed due to partner obligations in Thailand. Now, the event is all set to entertain the audience in Bangkok on the 8th of November 2024. 

Landing in the Lumpinee Stadium, ONE 169 will feature Anatoly Malykhin vs. “Reug Reug” Oumar Kane, Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Jacob Smith, and many other exciting bouts. While the fight fans are excited about ONE 169, things are beginning to get an interesting take for ONE 170.

And in case you don’t already know, ONE 170 will be entertained with not only the fights but also with a shoot for Russell Crowe’s latest movie.

The event is scheduled for January 24, 2025, and will entertain the fighting community at the Impact Arena, in Bangkok. The celebrated Hollywood actor Russell Crowe has shaken hands with Daniel MacPherson to release an action-packed drama movie.

And if you have guessed it already, you truly are a dramatic MMA fan. Crowe will indeed enter the arena to shoot ‘The Beast In Me’ at ONE 170. The movie will be out in the theatres in the same year.
