ONE X will be an event talked about 20 years from now, says ONE chairman Chatri Sityodtong

Singapore, March 24: The enormity of ONE X isn't lost on the martial arts world, and especially not on ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong. As the person who founded the billion-dollar martial arts organization, the 10th-anniversary show will leave a lasting footprint on generations of combat sports fans to come.

"Why am I so excited for ONE X? This is the first time in history that any major global organization is attempting to pull off what we are doing, making history with the greatest world championship athletes in mixed martial arts, in submission grappling, in kickboxing, and in Muay Thai," Sityodtong said during the event's official press conference.

Undeniably, 26 March at the Singapore Indoor Stadium will be the biggest slugfest in the promotion's first decade.

The entire card features 20 fights, five world championship contests, and a ONE kickboxing world grand prix final. The entire proceedings may span from 1 PM to 11 PM Singapore time, but the show's results will become conversation starters for years to come.

"When I look back in the history of martial arts, and I think back to Pride Shockwave, probably arguably the greatest martial arts event. This event, ONE X, will be an event that we will talk about for five years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years' time," Sityodtong added.

ONE X is divided into three parts, with the Grand Finale starting at 8 PM SGT.
