It looks like One Championship is about to get into the “sexy” business.

Announced on Friday morning by One founder and CEO Chatri Sityodtong, former Ultimate Fighting Championship talent and Korean-Japanese superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama will be signing with the Singapore-based promotion.

Starting his combat sports career in judo, “Sexyama” competed and won multiple gold medals in international competitions before pursuing a career in MMA in 2004.
