ONE In The Media

Kickboxing legend Liam Harrison has announced his return to action.

Injury has kept the Leeds star out of the ring since 2022. But Harrison will next take on Japan’s Katsuki Kitano in a Muay Thai bantamweight contest on ONE Championship’s June 8 event at the Impact Arena in Bangkok

Duke Didier’s return to ONE Championship has gone awry with a first round loss to Ben Tynan in Thailand.

The main event of ONE Fight Night 21 at Bangkok, Thailand’s Lumpinee Boxing Stadium shocked the kickboxing community as Alexis Nicolas dethroned two-sport king Regian Eersel.

Both Tye Ruotolo and Kade Ruotolo won their ONE championship matches with the ‘Ruotolo-tine’ submission, an arm triangle variation from the back that combines elements of the rear naked, ezekiel, and darce for the strangle. It’s the same finish that Tye used at 2022 ADCC against Pedro Marinho. Kade and Tye are undefeated in ONE championship action, and both brothers are invited to the ADCC World Championships in August.

Despite the seemingly overwhelming odds, Alexis Nicolas bravely marched into battle in the main event of ONE Fight Night 21 last weekend and ended Regian Eersel’s perfect run in ONE Championship.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion Kade Ruotolo makes his MMA debut on June 7 when he faces Blake Cooper at the upcoming ONE 167 card from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. ONE Championship officials confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Friday.

England’s Jake Peacock stuck to his word and pulled off a sensational debut as he defeated Japan’s Kohei Shinjo in their bantamweight Muay Thai showdown during the ONE Championship in Bangkok on Friday.

Peacock, who was born without his right hand and forearm, stunned Lumpinee Boxing Stadium as he dominated his adversary and displayed his versatile skill set across all three rounds.

Kade Ruotolo will make his MMA debut this spring, Sports Illustrated has learned.

His first-ever MMA bout will take place at ONE 167 on June 7 at Impact Arena in Bangkok. Ruotolo will compete in a lightweight bout against Blake Cooper, who is the younger brother of accomplished PFL fighter Ray Cooper.

The Lusail Sports Arena was electrified as ONE Championship made its much-anticipated debut in the Middle East with ONE 166: Qatar.

Fans were treated to a night of unparalleled martial arts action, featuring ten bouts that pitted the organization’s top fighters against each other in a series of thrilling matchups on Friday.

Three-division World Champion Anatoly Malykhin can easily say he’s on top of the world, and a fellow Russian superstar can attest to that.

Islam Makhachev, the reigning UFC Lightweight World Champion, said the ONE Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight MMA World Champion belongs on a tier all to himself.

Two years ago, former ISKA and WBC Muay Thai World Champion Mehdi Zatout stood inside the ONE Circle with his family as tears streamed down his face. He had just been awarded a $50,000 bonus for scoring a knockout in what would be the last fight of his decorated Muay Thai career.

Fast-forward to ONE 166 in Qatar, where the 40-year-old was presented with an opportunity he couldn’t refuse – coming out of retirement to make his boxing debut against the undefeated Zuhayr Al-Qahtani.

Anatoly Malykhin became the first athlete to hold belts in three divisions simultaneously in a major MMA organization after forcing Reinier de Ridder to quit in the third round at Friday’s ONE Championship 166 event in Qatar.
