ONE Championship (ONE), today announced its first official athlete rankings for select weight divisions across Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing. Rankings for other weight divisions will be introduced in the future.
Chatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship, stated: “It is with great excitement that I announce the inaugural ONE Championship Official Rankings. The rankings will bring more clarity and transparency for our athletes as they chase their dreams for a world championship title. Fans can also follow their favorite athletes and their journeys more closely as they climb or fall in the rankings.”
An independent panel of top sports media and industry experts will determine the rankings after each event based on criteria such as wins/losses, most recent performances, and quality of opponents. Athlete ranking updates will be published after each event on www.ONEFC.com and the ONE Super App.
