As a member of the ONE Championship family, Sage Northcutt is proud to represent the promotion that houses elite martial arts from multiple disciplines.

ONE houses the very best of Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling alongside its extensive MMA divisions.

There is no better example of this than the instant classic delivered by Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Superlek Kiatmoo9 in their dream match-up at ONE Friday Fights 34.

The fight captured the attention of Joe Rogan who spoke about the excitement and magnitude of such a fight on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

In a recent interview with The MMA Superfan, Sage Northcutt spoke about ONE putting Muay Thai and kickboxing on a big stage, referring to Rogan’s comments about Rodtang vs. Superlek:

“Muay Thai and kickboxing is something that I'm really happy that ONE Championship does because I heard someone talking about it recently I don't know who it was saying that if it wasn't for ONE Championship bringing Muay Thai and kickboxing and having their fight in the U.S. and getting the U.S. fans involved, it was kind of like Muay Thai and kickboxing was losing relevance almost.”
