One Championship is making its promotional debut in Japan as it announced their first-ever event in Tokyo in March 2019.
“It warms my heart to see just how much respect we have built (in Japan) as martial artists,” One Championship fighter and MMA pioneer Renzo Gracie said about the announcement. “This is what true martial arts is all about. I have been to Tokyo many times and the city never fails to amaze and surprise me. To be able to come full circle and bring martial arts back to Japan, it’s an amazing sight to behold.
