ONE Championship teased fans with a new Director’s Cut trailer for its own edition of hit reality television series “The Apprentice.”
Dubbed as the “toughest” version of “The Apprentice” in history, 16 participants from different countries will battle in a series of business and physical challenges for the chance of working directly under ONE chief Chatri Sityodtong in Singapore.
The ultimate winner will get a $250,000 job offer as Sidyodtong’s protege.
“This is a competition where only the strong survive. This is not your grandfather’s Apprentice,” said Sityodtong in the latter parts of the two-minute trailer.
As seen on the video, the participants make their entry in the “boardroom” while transitioning to different sporting activities such as swimming, javelin throwing, grappling and running, among others. Some would exchange heated conversation while others show their emotional side.
Filipino bets Lara Pearl Alvarez and Louie Sangalang, both former martial arts practitioners, will banner the country in the 13-episode reality show set to premiere in Asia on March 18 and globally in June.
Sangalang can also be seen having an argument with fellow contestant Monica Millington of the US.
Also making their short appearance were ONE Championship stars Brandon Vera and Sage Northcutt, ONE ring announcer and task captain Dom Lau, UFC legend Georges St-Pierre, and guest CEOs and founders in Anthony Tan of Grab, Patrick Grove of Catcha Group and Ankiti Bose of Zilingo.
