ONE Championship was founded on July 14, 2011 by Chatri Sityodtong and Victor Cui, and it launched with a mission to build a major Asian martial arts promotion. Although it started with a strong MMA identity, it now spans MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and submission grappling, which makes it one of the most multi-discipline brands in the sport. ONE’s regional emphasis has always been Asia, and that is not just geography; it is central to the company’s philosophy, talent mix, and marketing. The promotion’s broader pitch is martial arts as a category rather than MMA alone.
