ONE Championship has just announced its return to the iconic Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan for “ONE: Century 世紀.” Scheduled for October 13, 2019, it marks the promotion’s historic 100th live event.
Based in Singapore, ONE Championship was founded on July 14, 2011 by Chatri Sityodtong, who currently serves as the chairman and the chief executive officer of the promotion. He was born in Thailand to a Thai father and a Japanese mother.
“ONE: Century 世紀”
“ONE: Century 世紀” is ONE Championship’s most exciting show to date. It will feature three World Championship bouts and three World Grand Prix Championships in the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix, ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix and the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix.
“I am thrilled to announce that ONE Championship is set to throw the biggest martial arts event in history this October in Tokyo, Japan,” Sityodtong stated. “ONE Championship has come a long way since 2011 and is ushering in a new era for martial arts across the globe. ‘ONE: CENTURY 世紀’ is our historic 100th live event.”
To celebrate ONE Championship’s historic 100th live event, the organization will be holding the inaugural World Martial Arts Week in Tokyo on October 5-13, 2019. It is a week filled with activities and fan engagement, culminating at “ONE: Century 世紀.”
World Martial Arts Week will kick off with the ONE Martial Arts Fan Fest on October 5-6, 2019 at Bellesalle Shibuya Garden in Tokyo. The latter will feature athlete open workouts and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for fans to meet and greet their favorite ONE Championship superstars such as Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, “Unstoppable” Angela Lee, Brandon “The Truth” Vera, legends Miesha Tate and Rich Franklin, and more.
Combining the very best of martial arts and esports, the ONE Martial Arts Fan Fest is the first of its kind. A special edition ONE Tekken Tokyo Invitational will be held at the event featuring the best Tekken players in the world.
