Indeed, ONE Championship is known as “the home of martial arts,” and they have strengthened this reputation by incorporating kickboxing, Muay Thai, and submission grappling bouts in addition to the standard MMA fights. The organization boasts a vast roster of top-tier athletes from around the world, competing in various martial arts disciplines, which has significantly increased its global appeal.
Moreover, ONE Championship offers athletes the opportunity to venture into multiple sports and enhance their legacy. The prospect of becoming a two-sport champion has been achieved by a few individuals in the past, adding to the allure of the promotion.
During a recent interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Jonathan Di Bella, the ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion, expressed his enthusiasm for the diverse prospects available within ONE Championship, including the introduction of boxing with MMA gloves, which he finds intriguing.
Before establishing himself as a professional kickboxing force, Di Bella ventured into the realm of professional boxing, where he maintained an undefeated record in two fights. However, he admitted to facing challenges in refraining from using leg kicks during his boxing matches.
In his most recent bout with ONE Championship, Di Bella successfully defended his ONE strawweight kickboxing world title against Danial Williams, a matchup that the Canadian fighter eagerly anticipated.
Overall, ONE Championship’s incorporation of multiple martial arts disciplines has expanded the opportunities for athletes to excel and expand their legacies, creating an environment ripe with excitement and potential.
