Giancarlo Bodoni expects the world's best grapplers to fight for the prestigious ONE Championship belt: "That’s what I foresee"
BJJ black belt world champion Giancarlo Bodoni believes the level of talent in submission grappling in ONE Championship is top-notch, and that the ONE world title represents the sport's most prestigious prize.
As such, he expects all the world's most talented BJJ fighters to find themselves competing in ONE soon enough.
He said:
"Eventually, the more guys that sign with ONE, the bigger the brand gets, the stronger the jiu-jitsu portion of ONE gets, the more you’re going to have that same kind of ranking in each of the weight classes. So people climb into the ONE ladder for the belt. That’s what I foresee over the next coming years at ONE, if they continue doing what they’re doing."
