The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), on 13 October announced ONE: INSIDE THE MATRIX, which will be broadcast live on Friday, 30 October, from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
This comes after the successful conclusion of ONE’s first pilot production on 9 October where safe management measures were adhered to. ONE: INSIDE THE MATRIX will feature four World Title bouts and a total of six exciting world-class match-ups.
This event continues ONE’s partnership with the Singapore government to pilot the return of international sports productions, scheduled to take place since the country’s implementation of Covid-19 related measures earlier this year. All bouts will take place without spectators and behind closed doors at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, with only athletes, officials and crew onsite.
In line with Singapore’s approach to resuming activities in a calibrated and safe manner, ONE: INSIDE THE MATRIX will implement all necessary measures to ensure the safety of its athletes, officials and crew.

Hereis also a link to the recently released short film, I AM A WARRIOR, which tells the journey of ONE’s charismatic Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
He gives viewers an inside look at his childhood, how he was first drawn to the ancient Thai martial art of Muay Thai, unlocking his physical and mental capabilities through rigorous training, and surviving on $4 on a day-to-day basis while studying at Harvard University.
