ONE If ONE does fold... Where will the MT/KB roster go to?

ONE did hire many great MMA fighters just expensive to keep them, I am surprised he was clean enough to risk the testing pool in UFC. Reinier de Ridder said he believes Anatoly Malykhin is on steroids, but Saygid being a student of Khabib Nurmagomedov means he is the real thing.

Note: Though a top MMA fighter ONE was only fighting him once a year.

UFC traded Mighty Mouse for Ben Askren ffs. Also Kwon was just on contender series and lost by spinning back elbow KO
Yea ONE got a few top guys in MMA.. he also got high level guys in KB & MT even BJJ. Then he tried to get them to try mma a few even are successful in cross over. Chatri got a good eye for talent too bad he pissess everybody off and makes those contracts so crazy.
 
Not at all. I'm not isolated though, I know a few people on the inside, and I know that I must remain neutral, in order to not miss future potential opportunities if they occur especially in the age of the internet where everything you say is in a permanent record.

If you are a fighter, and criticize an organization, you just close a door somehow. Same if you are a manager. Talking about the evil side and problems of organizations will only close doors.

That how things work in this crooked world.

An example would be, if you criticize the Saudi gov, you could miss a lot of golden opportunities within Saudi Arabia, same with the chinese gov, you could lose the chinese market, what I'm trying to say is that neutrality is the best way to proceed, with governments, and institutions, even such as corporations.

You never know what could happen. I think that the best conduct for fighters, managers, and trainers would be neutrality, that come from experience trust me.
On one hand sure, but on the other hand you still gotta have your pride and morals, hypothetically would you stay quiet if you knew your boss was misleading and ripping everyone off in the business except you? Would you just look the other way and hope you don't become another victim or would you speak out about the issues and attempt to make a stand for change that leads to a sport without the corruption and bullshit?

Looking out for yourself is one thing, but looking out for everyone, now that's special
 
I would be devastated if ONE went under. On the other hand I can't say I would want to invest my own money in the company if I given the chance.
It is tough with the time difference for North America. I love One but have still never actually caught the fights live. I would have bought the last PPV but the time difference made that basically impossible for me.
