ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE FC) is Asia’s biggest Mixed Martial Arts
(MMA) event and it is about to return to Kuala Lumpur for the second
consecutive year with more fighters from different weight-class and trained
with different fight discipline.
Recently ONE
FC has announced the partnership with TUNE TALK as being the official telco for
ONE FC. As seeing Mixed Martial Arts has begun to hit mainstream in Asia.
With
this sponsorship, they are both set to conquer the industry as CEO of ONE FC
Victor Cui stated,
“This is one
of the most exciting sponsorship announcements that we’ve made. This
partnership will see the activation of ONE FC content across Malaysia at an
unprecedented level. Soon ONE FC and TUNE TALK will roll out campaigns across
all media platforms throughout the country. I’m thrilled to be working with
Tune Talk and the Air Asia Family.” Victor Cui also added during the press
conference that they are now building a partnership with ESPN which is looking
great!

As the
spotlight was directed to CEO of TUNE TALK Jason Lo stated, “Tune Talk, the
country’s fastest growing mobile prepaid service is proud to present ONE FC in
Malaysia! MMA, although I believe is quite new in Malaysia, has its own ardent
followers here and the number is quickly growing. MMA is a very attractive,
crowd-pulling sport and we see a lot of potential in it. Tune Talk is proud to
be associated with MMA, and would like to be the first to help develop the
sport locally.” After having said that, TUNE
TALK and ONE FC announced recently that they signed AJ “Pyro” Lias Mansor as
the official ambassador to make MMA a prominent sport in Malaysia. The obvious notice is that the two CEOs' show their great interest towards the sport as they work together to triumph.
But to everyone's surprise, guests asked during Q&A, "Why in Malaysia?" Well because of talented fighters in Malaysia, who are well trained with different fighting techniques as well as outstanding connections with sponsors, said CEO of ONE FC Victor Cui.
He added,"The entitlement to make a world class product and a sport that sells out seats."
On the side note, sports like these is not just for the boys anymore, as girls too enjoy a good fight in the ring these days. Hence, a good idea for girls to pick up some self-defense classes to beat up your boyfriend on your free time (a great way to spend time together, i suppose?).
The press conference was no doubt a breath-taking experience based from the opportunity of meeting the fighters up-close, almost makes me feel like being a fighter like them someday. This is definitely going to be a big hype once everything are in motion because ONE FC is also looking to further expand the market and recruiting fighters from India, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan to participate in the future.
