The vlog focuses on the journey of Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida, flyweight world champion Adriano Moraes and atomweight world champion Angela Lee as they navigate through the ‘City of Angels’.

On August 26th, ‘Buchecha’ and Moraes will find themselves on ONE Championship’s biggest stage yet as the promotion debuts on the aforementioned streaming service with ONE on Prime Video 1.

Almeida will be making his fourth appearance in the Circle following three straight first-round finishes. Meanwhile, ‘Mikinho’ will meet flyweight legend Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson in the main event, a rematch of their ONE on TNT 1 showdown where Moraes made history by becoming the first fighter to knock out Johnson.

Also featured in the vlog on the promotion’s YouTube channel is submission grappling stars Tye and Kade Ruotolo. The brothers got the opportunity to roll with some of ONE's biggest names while in California to promote the upcoming slate of Prime Video events.

Following their interaction, the 17-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion ‘Buchecha’ commented on training with one half of the duo, Tye Ruotolo:

“I was lacking but, it’s true you know, he’s rolling hard but he’s so relaxed that he makes it look easy. You can see that he was going hard, his body was not tense, but active all the time because he was so relaxed. I think that’s why their jiu-jitsu is so different, so aggressive because they are ready all the time.”

‘Buchecha’ returns to the Circle on August 26th as part of the ONE on Prime Video 1 main card.

On that night, he faces his toughest test yet in former interim heavyweight title challenger Kirill Grishenko. The Belarusian fighter will look to hand ‘Buchecha’ his first loss while getting himself back into the win column following a loss to interim heavyweight champion Anatoly Malykhin.
