Cosmo Alexandre voices discontent with ONE Championship, asks for better pay or release

Cosmo Alexandre is not happy with his current ONE Championship contract.

The Brazilian striker signed a six-fight deal with the Asia-based MMA promotion in 2018, stopping Elliot Compton in a kickboxing bout in his debut and then losing to Nieky Holzken. His biggest moment in the ONE ring came in May 2019 when he was paired up with promotional newcomer Sage Northcutt in an MMA bout.

Alexandre won with a brutal knockout in just 29 seconds, improving his MMA record to 8-1. But this past weekend, he indicated his good work wasn’t followed by the pay increase he hoped to earn.
