According to ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong, the organization plans to host over 60 events worldwide in 2024, including shows in the United States, Qatar, Japan, and the Philippines, signaling a “full return of MMA.”
Sityodtong also expressed confidence in the “solid foundation” of ONE Friday Fights and the Muay Thai product, allowing the organization to shift its focus back to mixed martial arts and scale up its operations.

Furthermore, plans for “two very big events” in Japan have been confirmed for 2024, with a press conference scheduled for Tokyo later this month, as well as the potential debut of former Japanese K-1 kickboxing champion Ken Segawa in January.
