ONE, hands down.

- Max-Frankie is a good matchup, but Frankie is not even a #1 contender in the eyes of most.
- Neal-Price are top 30-35 WWs
- OAM - Tsarukyan winner will be top 40 LW
- Jotko vs French guy winner will be top 30 MW

On the other hand:
- Alvarez, former top 20 P4P fighter in the world , returns after upset loss.
- One of the best EVER, Mighty Mouse, is in action against solid opponent.
- Rodtang is a very well known MT fighter, Stadiums level
- Nguyen-Matsushima is intriguing fights between two decent FWs. Winner can be top 30 FW hadn't it been shady ONE division...

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Lol what is the Dawn of Heroes part tho

 

[Arrrrgh]

One has the far better card despite Frankie and Max being the two biggest stars on the night.

ONE, hands down.

- Max-Frankie is a good matchup, but Frankie is not even a #1 contender in the eyes of most.
- Neal-Price are top 30-35 WWs
- OAM - Tsarukyan winner will be top 40 LW

- Nguyen-Matsushima is intriguing fights between two decent FWs. Winner can be top 30 FW hadn't it been shady ONE division...

Plus, for me anyway, tournaments add intrigue to the sport. I wish a big org would move exclusively to a tournament format.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Isn't ONE free on youtube? Pretty hard to argue it's not the better bargain all in all

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

Another vote for One

If One continues to get better fighters, it may actually become the main competition of the UFC. I really like the round cage, production, rules, etc

Rizn is awesome too

Lol Frankie gets "not even a #1 contender" but Tatsumitsu Wada gets "a solid opponent".

No bias here, folks

ONE's prelims are infinitely better than the UFC for this event.

James Nakashima vs Yushin Okami. Nakashima is undefeated and beat Kyle Stewart and Chance Rencountre in the LFA. The UFC proceeded to sign Stewart and Rencountre, but let Nakashima go to ONE. Kyle Stewart is on UFC 240. ONE > UFC.

Arjan Bhullar vs Mauro Cirelli. Bhullar just beat Juan Adams. The UFC decided to then cut Bhullar, and put Juan Adams in a co-main event. UFC is a joke.

Eustaquio vs Wakamatsu is a fantastic fight between former ONE champion and former Pancrase #1 contender.

Daichi Takenaka is an elite fighter making a return against former UFC vet Leandro Issa. Takenaka is 11-1, and his only loss was a cut stoppage in a fight he was dominating.

Xie Bin, Dae Sung Park, and Mitsatit are also solid prospects.

 

[YouKnowWhat?]

ONE reminds me of the good old pre-USADA UFC

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

ONEfc is a regional org, nothing to care much about.

not at all. bellator and one fc are threats to the ufc. go and watch wmma

 

[Arrrrgh]

ONEfc is a regional org, nothing to care much about.

Isn't it the most watched MMA org in the world with the largest market (population, not $$$)? Or has Rogan misled me to that belief?

 

[AimedWithV]

Lol Frankie gets "not even a #1 contender" but Tatsumitsu Wada gets "a solid opponent".

No bias here, folks

1. It's less about opponent more about the person who fights. It's freaking MM, one of the best fighters in the history of a sport. Max Holloway isn't even the best fighter in the history of his division.
2. After the fight with Wakamatsu, which was anything but easy for MM, he fights an opponent who is even more interesting and versatile. ONE's flyweight division has always been a Terra Incognita for UFC fighters, and every matchup there is intriguing.

 

[Deleted member 388303]

And don't forget the Johnathan Haggerty fight, that guy is a beast of a Muay Thai fighter.

 

[ApplesVild]

Standard fade of Eddie Alverez if I can find a bookie that has odds

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

so basically Max + Frankie + Cyborg vs Alvarez, Folayand, MM

Rodtang vs Haggerty is low-key the best fight on either card!

Rodtang vs Haggerty is low-key the best fight on either card!

Came to say "Who the fook".
Then I checked his record and saw that he just beat one of the most decorated Lumpinee champs.

 

[R.N.J.]

Man, thats a horrible ufc ppv.

 

[aerius]

Came to say "Who the fook".
Then I checked his record and saw that he just beat one of the most decorated Lumpinee champs.

To be fair, Sam-A has been out of his prime for at least 4-5 years.
Beating him now means about as much as beating BJ Penn in 2019.

 

[Mongoosemk12]

ONE FC. Rodtang vs Haggerty is going to be fucking fire. Folayang and Alvarez should be great too.
