ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong Says Term 'Mixed Martial Arts' Has Been 'Tainted Severely by the West'

Спорт

After the ONE: A New Era press conference Thursday in Tokyo, ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong discusses his belief that promoters in the west sullied the name of mixed martial arts, what ONE is doing in an attempt to reverse that, the possibility of ONE coming to the United States, free agency and more.

Cluless fool with not a single proof. Literally everything thing you said is correct for PRIDE but not ONE.

    Hunain H and you’re equally stupid talking about America/Canada as westerners, so it seems fair. And as far as freak fights one hasn’t gone down that path yet, but without a doubt every single one of their cards has several mismatches. But I can excuse that because of the lack of competition so far. I’m not saying one is bad but for them to take the moral high ground is laughable.

It seems to be an Asian thing to contradict yourself with no shame.

    @Andy Laish If you listened to Ben Askren on JRE he said that when he was competing in ONE there was no drug testing because Chatri doesn't think steroids are prevalent culturally in the region, which is ridiculous given we know that back in Pride days in Japan it specifically said there would be no ped drug testing in the contracts. There's no colony mindset pal, maybe know what you're talking about before you try lecturing me ;)

    Asia untainted? "Integrity"? " honor"? Those decades of yakuza mafia fueled fixed fights aren't forgotten, and those bad actors are surely still lurking around asia. Every fight they promote will have the stink of the corruption from the past. Demetrios johnson is PERFECT for them, he would NEVER take a fall for money. BUT he needs a worthy opponent, who ALSO won't take a dive for money. Gooood luck with that in Asia.

They take pride in how civil they are; its illegal to throw your chewing gum on the sidewalk or take (open) durians on the bus. Lovely, kind, modern people. Similar to hong Kong minus the Chinese ...influence. High tech business hub. I apologize for my ignorance, ONEfc gets props from me now. Singapore rocks! The jewel of Asia

    Martials Arts did not arise in Asian any more than they arose anywhere else. Indigenous forms of wrestling and striking have been developed all over the world. Efforts to combine those art forms have been attempted all over the world. Some specific forms of martial arts arose from Asia but that can be said of a lot of other places too. Also, Pride was based in Japan and had all of the problems of western MMA organizations amplified.

    The minute I watched a full blown assault take place on live tv and it was universally accepted and applauded not just by fans but the media as well, I knew it was over. Not saying I dont myself wish to smack some little smart ass big mouth that needs it or disrespects me, because I have felt that many times and done it or wanted to..in the past..way back. But now I'd be in jail just nobody me. Formerly known as mixed martial arts did not do things like this for promotion or views. We as fans eat it up but it's still not right to support it. Had Dana stepped in and layed down even a low level hit to the pocket book fine..it would have helped prevent future incidents. Most of these guys can't afford a 10k fine or whatever. So that could be a good incentive to keep your hands to yourself. But that doesn't get likes and shares and memes on social media. That doesn't make fights. So welcome to fight club. The first rule of fight club is...there are no rules if it makes us money other than no steroids.

    The difference between Dana White (the uneducated one) and both Chatri and Coker is Dana's success can be attributed to his super rich friends helping him grow the UFC and then to have super expensive highly educated workers (ex. executives, expensive lawyers, marketing company) to figure out how to best manage a large corporation. I wonder if Dana is bouncing his rubber ball off the wall in his office (from an embedded episode)?
