Nowadays, everyone loves to dress up and cosplay – even our athletes.
From time to time, ONE Championship’s martial arts heroes will put on a costume and mimic a famous character’s look and signature movements.
When done correctly, it will make for a captivating entrance in the arena and a compelling social media post.
Fortunately, our athletes usually nail it. Take a quick glimpse at some of the best cosplays that our world-class martial artists have executed.

The Dutchman is riding an eight-bout win streak, which includes his most recent split-decision victory over former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang.
