One Championship MMA fights to resume next month behind closed doors

Asia's largest mixed martial arts promotion, One Championship, will return behind closed doors in Thailand after a five-month break because of the coronavirus.

One, which promotes cards across the region in mixed martial arts, Muay Thai and kickboxing, lastly put on a major show at the end of February.

"Most national borders remain closed in Asia, and this has posed unique logistical and operational challenges," One's CEO Chatri Sityodtong said.

The first three major bouts of the "One: No Surrender" event have been confirmed. Among fighters taking part are ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang "The Iron Man" Jitmuangnon, Petchdam "The Baby Shark" Petchyindee Academy, and "The Boxing Computer" Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex.
