As reported here earlier, ONE FC
has partnerships with a few top promotions around Asia such as the
URCC, Road FC, and DARE. Today, the promotion officially announced these
deals in addition a partnership with an Australian MMA promotion. From
the press release:

ONE Fighting Championship™ has formed exclusive partnerships with the following organizations:
-URCC (Philippines)
-Cage Fighting Championship (Australia)
-ROAD Fighting Championship (Korea)
-DARE Fightsports (Thailand)

They also announced partnerships with several of the top MMA camps in
the region: Team Lakay Wushu (Philippines), Tiger Muay Thai (Thailand),
Tigers Gym (India), Evolve MMA (Singapore), Legacy Gym (Thailand),
Tough MMA (Taiwan), Synergy Jiu-Jitsu (Indonesia), Juggernaut FC
(Singapore), Fightworks Asia (Singapore), PAK MMA (Pakistan), Team Force
(Korea), MuayFit (Malaysia), Leverage MMA (Malaysia).

Aside from that laundry list of camps and promotions, the release
also had this interesting statement from their CEO, Victor Cui, "Given
our current discussions with various parties, we will be announcing
another 23 additional MMA organizations and gyms to the ONE FC Network
in the coming days and weeks."

BloodyElbow.com has been informed that among those deals in the works, is a partnership with Japanese promotion, DREAM.
A high ranking official from the promotion has told us that ONE FC is
currently in discussions with a few organizations from Japan, and that
the deal with DREAM is 'very close' to being finalized.

If it pushes through, it would be a great help for both
organizations, and it could definitely lead to more quality match ups in
the region.

This could be a very good thing for Japanese MMA.

They'll be back to putting on shows with no true intention of paying their fights in no time lol

I disagree.

Fighters I meant lol. I enjoyed watching Dream events but it's gonna take a show or two with all their fighters getting paid before I start supporting them again I don't care who the fuck they partner with.

I would think with new ownership the pay issue would be resolved. That is my optimistic approach atleast.

I tourney with all those org's champs would be sweet.

Not that I know any of em.

Kawajiri vs. Donald Sanchez has been announced by both promotions (DREAM and One FC) for their "One FC: War of the lions" event on March 31st.

You might know Donald Sanchez from his regional run, which has encompassed most of the United States, in promotions like KOTC (where he has won a belt). You might also remember him for being Hatsu Hioki's last meal before entering the UFC.

Kawajiri, who has looked great at his new division of 145 lbs, talks about using elbows in this upcoming fight. He is coming off a big win in which he trashed Olympian Miyata at his own game of wrestling.

Wow they'll have most of the bottom quarter of the top 200 all under one roof!

it's not for soft cores.

If I wasn't trolling and serious I would say ; How many total events have you watched from urcc, cfc, road fc and dare?(big fat 0) How many of those did you even hear of before this post?(1 promotion at the most) And then I would close the post with - Now, if we were to compare the number of dream events me and you watched live...(I watched almost all of them live dating back to the lwgp era)

But instead I'll go wit the fresh prince ;

Well your assumptions would simply make you wrong. Shocking right?

I love MMA as much as the next dude but watching south asian MMA in a ring filled with fighters who would lose to mid level NCAA division II wrestlers making their pro debut isn't that appealing to me anymore. I must not be a true fan.

Sure, you can barely watch american mma but now have something to say about upstart fighters and orgs internationally. Okay.

relax bro, its a joke anyway, hardcore mma fans are the least receptive to mma humor sometimes.
