ports media company ONE Championship (ONE) has announced an alliance and content partnership with Indonesian mixed martial arts promotion company OnePride MMA (OPMMA).
The organizations hope to cultivate the growth of the Indonesian martial arts world, providing local athletes with a global event and content platform to showcase their talents and develop their careers, as well as create joint content for distribution.
The organizations will invest in Indonesian athlete scouting and training efforts, and top OnePride MMA athletes will have the opportunity to compete in ONE Championship’s global events.
