Dana White and the UFC enjoy a dominant position in the fighting entertainment industry as the biggest MMA promotion in the world. PFL and Bellator were supposed to break their hegemony; however, it seems like the competitors are yet to be a fraction of what the UFC is currently. However, seems like the UFC’s position as the ranked #1 fighting promotion in the world might be challenged by their Asian rivals.

The stacked UFC 300 witnessed the promotion’s dominance once again as Dana White made sure that they stood above all. Yet, ONE Championship has gathered enough traction to state that they are now officially competing against UFC. Their last outing in the United States was a houseful event and seems like they are planning on replicating their success.

ONE Championship is about to make a comeback to the US with ONE 168: Denver and well they have stacked their card with fights that have the fans riled up. ONE 168 features fights between Newly crowned ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Champion Stamp Fairtex vs. ONE Women’s Strawweight MMA World Champion Xiong Jing Nan, Jonathan Haggerty vs. Superlek Kiatmoo9, Kade Ruotolo vs. Mikey Musumeci and Liam Harrison vs. Seksan Or Kwanmuang.

To give you an instance of ONE Champion’s position in the market, according to Nielsen (the world’s leading authority on viewership data for the global media industry), ONE is the world’s #1 most-watched combat sports promotion and It has ranked among the top 5 global sports media properties. In comparison to ONE with 406 million viewers, UFC ranks 9th with a total of 259 million viewers. These stats might have forced the UFC fans to have second thoughts about UFC.

Fans Question Dana White’s dominant position after Chatri Sityodtong’s pro move

Chatri Sityodtong knows how to promote his fights just like Dana White and seems like the UFC CEO finally has an opponent. Their battle might be legendary. Some of the comments by the fans are as follows:

UFC knows how to stack their card but they lack some depth in most of their cards except well the UFC 300 and a fan highlighted the exact same thing.

“Take note US based fight leagues. THIS is how you STACK a card!”

It must be noted that UFC comprises only MMA, however, ONE Championship is a culmination of MMA, Kickboxing, Grappling, and many other things. A fan added that the variety of fights would be enough to complete the card.

“You got everything . MMA, KB, SubGrap, MT completes this card.”

UFC might be the best in the world currently and the difference in level of fighters might be astronomical but some fans would beg to differ.

“Being from 🇨🇦 growing up we always hear the ufc has the best martial artists on the planet BUT i say to those people just watch even a @onechampionship friday fights card n youll see the best strikers n martial artists on the planet reside at @onechampionship.”

The tickets for the event range from $150 to $1650 and seems like fans have already bought the tickets for the second coming.

“So excited for this . Already have tickets and looking forward to enjoying the experience with some great friends.”

Last but not least, the MMA community seems to be going ahead to the US from other countries to watch the matches unfold.

“The best reason to head to the US 🇺🇸 for a holiday!”

UFC and Dana White might be enjoying their dominant position in the market, regardless, the competition is increasing day by day for them. What is your opinion on ONE 168? Are you excited? State your thoughts in the comments below.
