ONE Championship has found a new broadcast partner in Cignal to bring Asia’s top mixed martial arts action on local screens.
The partnership will start with the broadcast of ONE: NO SURRENDER event on Friday which will jumpstart the promotion’s return following a hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The event features six contests including the main event pitting Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon against ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Petchdam “The Baby Shark” Petchyindee Academy.
Sharing the limelight is the much-awaited showdown between ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee Academy against “The Boxing Computer” Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex.
At the promotion’s website, ONE Championship announced the list of platforms where the event can be viewed including in the Philippines, where it will be aired live on One Sports and One Sports+ and a delayed telecast on TV5 on Aug. 1.
The partnership came days after Cignal and Smart signed a multiyear contract for the broadcast rights of NBA games in the country.
