ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong is a lifelong martial artist, who practices a variety of disciplines every day, from MMA to Brazilian jiu-jitsu to Muay Thai. But it was his love for 'the art of eight limbs' that inspired him to build ONE, now the world's largest martial arts organization.

"For Muay Thai, Samart Payakaroon vs Saenchai. Both are the best of the best in Muay Thai. Their vision, timing, stability, footwork, and everything else is good. They threw their weapons but were never attacked."

While Muay Thai has enjoyed its fair share of legends over the years, ONE Championship and Sityodtong himself are helping forge new household names in the sport.
