ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong is fresh off a wildly successful ONE 171: Qatar event at Lusail Sports Arena last week.
The world's largest martial arts organization returned to the Middle East with a spectacular card featuring the best fighter in combat sports. But already, the ONE head honcho has focused his attention to next month's blockbuster in Japan, ONE 172: Takeru vs. Rodtang.

"I’m looking forward to Jonathan Di Bella versus Sam-A, you know. Young rising star and world champion versus old legend and world champion. It’s going to be incredible. But also, Superlek versus Nabil. This is going to be a war for the ages for sure."
Sityodtong added:
"You know what, I can’t pick. Someone’s gonna get knocked out, that’s all I’d say. Someone’s getting knocked out."
