I’m happy I had the opportunity to team up with ONE Championship to share the story of its founder, Chatri Sityodtong.
ONE Championship just held its first event in America, but not many people know the fascinating story behind the martial arts promotion and its creator.
Chatri's journey began with a tough childhood, facing the challenges brought on by the Asian financial crisis. Despite these difficulties, he worked hard to get an education at Harvard and found success in Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
Starting ONE Championship from scratch wasn't easy, but Chatri faced every struggle with determination. Today, his company is competing directly with the UFC and features highly skilled fighters like Demetrious Johnson, Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Angela Lee, Stamp Fairtex, and Adriano Moraes. #onechampionship #chatrisityodtong

What I love about this man is that he completely understands what a fighter goes through on their journey in martial arts. Something that Dana lacks compared to him
They fucked up by not marketing Francis’ story.
@@SupaFonzy he expects his faves to become clowns for him, that's Dana "promoting".
@@SupaFonzy they can't risk giving CEO to Francis tho. Francis wasn't just asking for more money
The UFC is the only high level MMA organisation that actually makes money, that is, makes a profit. Until people understand that, all their "Oh, Dana does this..." and "Oh, One has a better..." and "Oh, blah blah blah" means nothing. The rest of the promotions are either no tier for the chads of yesteryear like Bellator, but at least that - barely - makes a profit, unlike One, which is just playtime for the billionaires.
@@angrymaniac53 Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about.
Chatri is a guy who really saw problems in Muay Thai especially how fighters are still poor even with 200-300 fights in their careers, and fixed it. Now Muay Thai is on another level that Thai people wouldn't have thought before. He really changed lots of people's life, lots of respect for the guy.
Totally
How did he fix that? it said nothing about how much he pays them.
@@mileseals4838 basically the high rankers would make 250k usd to 500k usd that could have a 50k bonus per fight. compared to how much nak muays used to make... the most would probably be 300 -450 usd a fight? but you gotta understand that being a nak muay for thailanders is like an honor. plus the living cost in thailand is not as high as usa or any 1st world country. so let's say imagine being a champion and you only make 1k usd to 2k usd per fight. and they have like 200 - 300 fights their entire career. being in one change that insanely with one fight basically might = to your entire life's career.
That's mad respect.
Yod,stamp and the whole Fairtex gyms are now Rich 🤑💰!!
ONE Championship totally won attention over UFC. In Facebook alone, ONE shows FREE fight videos. These are usually short fights or highlights of their longer fights. All for free. They're promoting their fighters by showcasing their life, not the drama they cause.
The fighters themselves are very respectfully towards each other. No drama, no trashtalking, just pure skill and respect. I am rooting for ONE Championship's continued success!
Not trying to argue which organization is better, but UFC have a channel on CZcams where they regularly upload full fights for free, I don't think either ONE or UFC do it out of the kindness of their hearts, it's to promote their live events to gain higher revenues, essentially you are just describing a form of advertising they both do.
As far as the drama and trash talking goes, it's a personal preference I think. I myself enjoy a little back and forth between the fighters before they fight, especially when one of them is a jerk then get's destroyed. I love to see good fights but I don't watch MMA to know who the greatest and most respectable fighter is, I watch it to be entertained.
@@edthegoombawhich is why one is more enjoyable for others because it isn’t just trying to entertain with fake bs and beefs just to sell more tickets 🤣 it is only about the fighter and their skills
@@sooperfast1 yeah I literally said that homie, good job adding nothing to the conversation 😴
Lies again? Barcelona One USD SGD
Onefc just won me over as a ufc guy
I remember watching UFC thinking " nothing will ever be as big as this, it's the NFL of MMA, MLB of baseball, NHL of hockey "
Boy was I wrong... Chatri doesn't even have a bonus limit per event, he can throw 5 bonuses in a row if it was 5 amazing fights.
Nothing will touch the UFC especially in the US. The closest was Pride and the UFC bought Pride. Bellator was next and all they did was sign UFC cast offs that were never going to hold UFC gold. ONE and the PFL are good but nobody gives them any recognition really.
@@btgkg9639Just wait.
@@btgkg9639นักสู้ufcไม่ได้แข็งแกร่งที่สุดในโลก เตะยังไม่มีแรง
Yes 👍
@@btgkg9639the fights in one championship are more interesting than ufc.
People always defaulted to Bellator as the "#2" MMA organization, but ONE is far more creative with better production value. They even had the foresight to make the Amazon Prime deal while other companies are using the dying PPV model.
Bellator absolutely sucks in terms of match making especially. The fights in ONE are way more entertaining
Bellator has had its ups and downs over the years but recently they have consistently delivered absolute garbage, from the unquestionably corrupt judging to the awful pacing and general skill level and 0 promotion of events and fighters, it's just an awful product.
That Amazon deal is going to be the real game changer if they just continue to add to their roster
@@OmnipotentSpud the Amazon deal got me watching every Friday.
Bellator absolutely sucks so bad
This is the first time I ever hear about Mr Sityodtong, and I'm in awe of his determination and pure warrior spirit. People like this change the world.
He is inspirational
Me too, what a human
BTW, Chatri Sityodtong is his ring name. Chatri is his first name, but Sityodtong is the name of a fight camp based in Pattaya, Thailand. Sityodtong gym founded by a Muay Thai grandmaster Yodtong Senanan. "Sit" in Sityodtong means "a student (of)". Chatri Sityodtong then means "Chatri a student of (the grand master) Yodtong".

For real
This video got me crying. I lost my dad due to cancer recently and I wasn't always on the best terms with him I forgave him. I'm very proud of chatri for seeking his dad and forgiving him.
I lost my dad two years ago and I miss him dearly. I was constantly so angry with him as a kid but I forgave him as well towards the end of his life. Idk about you but I strife to be HALF as tough as that man. Don't lose faith, hang in there brother.
you will be much happier if you forgive your parents. that's one of the secret in life
@@spacey9707 I don't think you read my comment well. I did forgive him.
@@toemasmeems appreciate it. Sorry about your father
How did you forgive him? I can come to see myself doing it. From the physical and mental abuse
"Be humble, so you can see well." - Chatri's Mother
That's got to be the best motherly advice I've ever heard.
I was at ONE Denver and saw Chatri there. Such a well mannered and professional man. The crowd was electrifying and everyone chanted out Rodtang’s name when he called out Haggerty. That’s the moment I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought of ONE championships fighters as superstars.
I was there too. He was walking around taking pictures with everybody. One of the coolest events I've ever been apart of. Incredible!
I live in australia so was not there but watched the event and it was great
@@yeahiknow69 Ubuntu
It was crazy dude I’ve never been to anything that loud before
He makes Dana look like a dumb and angry meathead tbh
This gives me a whole new respect for what he's done considering what he went thru in life. I wish ONE FC success
@@8.24. that is kinda strange. P.s. LoL.
@@8.24.
And yet,he's accomplished more than any of you put together. Jealousy is a motherfucker huh. Lol.
@@8.24. he graduated from another university probably a 2 year, so its not like he had only highschool credentials. what have you done so far in life on your burner yt account? negative energy projecting a negative life.
@@8.24. So what're you implying happened?
Healthy competition will only benefit the fans. This is a good thing
Very inspiring, he's gone through so much adversity, to come back full circle in helping lives.
Hands down one of if not the best documentary ive ever seen. Got me on an emotional rollercoaster ride but importantly i really really needed to hear the motivational message Chatri was trying to send. I can sense that i see life different now compared to before seeing the documentary. Thank you Chatri, good luck, i wish you all the success for the hard work and sacrifices you've made in order to entertain us fans.
These are the people we should be supporting. The storytelling of Patrick is unreal. Thank you for this amazing video. Not gonna lie this video brought a tear in my eyes. I can relate with a lot of the things talked about.
I will say I’ed rather give him my money than Dana white!!! At least he has passion. Dana’s passion is betting big on black jack. He’s also got a slapping fetish it’s ironic how he started a slap league and the same time started slapping his wife…. Poor ladies married to money……
He is a liar and a charleton
@@MOO67204 You are Dana's lapdog :D
@@MOO67204you better not be supporting Dana when you're calling someone a liar lmao
This video actually put me to tears. Chatri's determination along with dealing with adversity and family issues was just so touching. I'm so glad he made it.
Lies again? Spank Bang Sell Backside
You cried over this? Grow up
You cried 😆😆😆
Yeah his story 2 +2 not adding up bottom of the class guy don't get in Harvard. Plus if you lived all your life in Thailand you don't loose accent for rest of your life
You shed tears over this? Da fuq is wrong with you?
By far one of the greatest motivational videos on youtube. I literally can't remember when tears came out of my eyes for the last time. But man the ending to this video, Chatri's speach about suffering and the background music with small clips literally made my throat hurt. Can't describe the feeling. I wish you Patrick Gavia success in life and keep motivating the masses through such videos, so that "you can leave this earth better off than you found it "
I met chatri during my visit in thailand and i can tell you this man is the most humble and down to earth person you'll ever meet
He carries a lot of empathy which is something that is rare when you're in his position. I wish him all the best and for ONE championship.
Wow. Never knew or heard about this guy at all. It's a breath of fresh air to see people driven from such an intense background. Thank you Mr. Patrick for articulating this masterpiece.
Exactly why he's not a threat. Ppl either wont know, dont know, or dont/wont care in large enough quantity to matter.
The guy is full of B.S! There is literally no way for a Thai poor kid to apply for a student visa in the U.S and above that pay for harvard's university fees
Ever heard of Scholarships? Lol stay hating Cuh!
It's alright if you don't watch any MMA, you wouldn't know then.
@@freedomisdead9638shut up man don’t ruin the cool story bro! Ok?! 😤
This is one of the most phenomenal videos I've ever seen!! And I watch a lot of content. Thank you for exposing this amazing net positive man to us in this incredibly edited documentary. Bravo 👏🏻
Just coming on the comments to say - this was one of the best movies I've watched all year - and it wasn't a movie. It was a documentary on CZcams. Whoever edited this, holy shit, you should win an oscar, this was amazing, champion level, outdone yourself, incredible video!!!
This documentary lit the fire that I have been needing in my belly. I’ve been going thru a lot. For anyone who’s reading this. Life is suffering. But that feeling is how you know you’re alive. Just like how good times end. Bad times do too. Keep fighting. Good things will come as we adapt.
Thank you for this documentary. It was very well done as always. And quite inspiring.
Thanks for putting it so beautifully and succinctly, your words is what got me off my ass today.
The first two minutes had me hooked.
@@oscarolsson7301 Thanks for the kind words man I really appreciate it. I was hoping to reach people in a positive way and inspire that energy to do better that we all are capable of. Your comment made my day. God bless and get after it!
You can only know how good the warmth of the sun feels on your face if you've been through the cold. The challenges we all go through in life aren't meant to break us, they're meant to build us! It sounds like you have a good mindset my brother, how you feel now will be a distant memory one day. It may be a day, maybe a month, maybe a year, but you WILL get through this my brother. I don't know you but I love you man, as long as we are still here there is always a chance. You sound like a fighter to me, keep fighting G
No sirrrr the bad times do not end!! EVER, but we jus built like that baby we take those nut shots from life and fight harder. But they never EVER ever EVER stop. Not even till ur retired and 80 years old. Bad times are the human experience 🙌🏾
"I don't wanna be that warrior who ran away from the love of his live because he saw a tiger."
Inspirational words right there man.
What did Chatri say to the tiger when it ambushed the love of his life? "Sityodtong down when I'm talking! You're messing with the wrong business, son".💪
I related to his university years life style. I worked the first day when I was a International student in US university on min. wages and worked for 4 part time jobs after my dad lost his job. Per week, I slept 4 hours per day for 4 days and 3 days without sleep since I had to work and go to school. Never parties, never have time to watch any sitcom, no movies, many times had no money to eat and never have any free time. Just work, school and ran at 11pm before going to the studio for my school work and lifting weight between class since I worked in the gym room which the university allowed us to workout. Those years was hard, but I had so much love from friends and hard life strengthen my character, values in life and push my tenacity and drive to the next level.
What an epic documentary! Well played Sir. I have new found respect for One and Chatri. Its impossible to say they don't deserve it and all the success to come 💪
patrick never dissapoints
Unlike my dad
yea gang gang
His girlfriend told me otherwise.
No he did on this video, the guy the ufc traded cause he gets no ppv buys is not a threat to the ufc 😂
I love dj too I watch all his videos and reactions, but he ain’t bigger then the ufc, no way.
I’ve been a MMA fan since the UFC started in the 90’s. Dana is lying to himself if he thinks ONE cannot compete with his organization. In many ways ONE is far superior.
Yes, but the ufc has seen competition like this before and has always survived. Not that i don't like one championship, but the ufc has way more experience in dealing with high-level competition within this industry
@@kameronjones7139 yeah, that experience being them just throwing money at their competition and buying them. Keep in mind that any enterprise Dana attempted to chase without the F bros failed miserably. One will continue to do fine, no doubt. Asian scene is huge and they tapped in there perfectly.
@Fran Lovel Šimić there is way more to it than just that. He even has a whole video of it on this channel also I never said one championship wouldn't still do well but they are also under heavy competition
@@kameronjones7139 ufc has never had competetion like ONE.
@@koen4261 they have had their very existence threatened numerous times since the beginning and have always evolved
This story is incredible!!! Inspirational!!! Mr Gavia, the way you put these videos together is maybe one of the best production values I've come across on CZcams. Obviously this takes time so thank you. Truly one of the best viewing experiences!! Thank you, keep doing what your doing!
Thank you for this video man😭
I really needed this,as I go through one of the hardest times in my and my family's life😢
This story ignites the hope of taking my own family out of poverty
As an 18year old African boy facing his trial exams and reality of life
I'd like to thank you for this
🙏
I respect this man for caring about the athlete and the story they carry with them. For every fighter, what we see is a percentage of the sacrifice they make. He’s trying to give people something real to enjoy
You seem like a easily fooled fellow.
And for the man in this video, he sees money
You dont treat your cashcows like shit, he knows what he is doing
Fighting world is corrupt, this video sounds more like an add promoting this guy than actual investigative journalism.
@@SkreltNL Definitely not saying this guy is perfect especially with how he handled the Francis situation. I’m just saying that Dana White doesn’t even care this much about his fighters to portray them as “heroes”. Dana either uplifts you for being the company man or buries you for wanting your worth, whether it’s monetarily or promotionally. If he can’t have ‘the biggest draw’ then no one can have a quality product.
@@vernonromeo18 What are you talking about. He handled Francis accordingly.
@@brunonkowalski Bro said they backed out of the deal when Francis said he was signing with PFL before they sat down.
This is definitely the best MMA Documentary ever, and I think Chatri should sell this story even more, because it's not only a great ad for ONEFC, but it also speaks to the majority of people around the world and so inspiring.
What a life story! Very emotional. Teaches you to be more grateful for everything ❤
Insane story. Bruh really from the trenches and got it out the mud. I respect this fighters hustle and never giving up.
I got chills man. This is truly a man that fulfilled his purpose. Before this video I wanted to become like Dana White. This video definitely changed me.
That’s what I was thinking. Dana is obviously a genius businessman and that is admirable but this man from ONE is far superior. Never thought I’d say that about anyone else
I try not to give Dana too much credit.. he actively makes business decisions that harm the sport of MMA as a whole. Yea he’s rich but like… is that the only thing that matters?
@@spliffsforbreakfast this doc clearly shows just how ridiculous some of his decisions really are. Very unfortunate he requires drama from professional fighters so that he can line his pockets. I mean how much fkn money does one man need? His greed is truly on another level. Fighter pay is disgusting too. It would be nice to finally see another organization take over and treat with sport with integrity and respect
The joys of a simple mind.
Change back. The UFC is the only high level MMA organisation that actually makes money, that is, makes a profit. Until people understand that, all their "Oh, Dana does this..." and "Oh, One has a better..." and "Oh, blah blah blah" means nothing. One has never made a profit and loses millions. The rest of the promotions are either no tier for the chads of yesteryear like Bellator, but at least that - barely - makes a profit, unlike One, which is just playtime for the billionaires.
I wish Chatri the best in this business. I hope he takes over the MMA business and becomes number ONE.
Me too. Chatri is inspirational
ONE is where it's at!!!
they are number one already what are you talking about lol
This creation makes you think and contemplate very deep. It touches that place in your soul that is very hard to shake in this fast-paced world.
The music, the scenario ...
Well done!
I can't remember any videos on this platform, especially this long, that I have watched without skipping or pausing.
This one was watched in one breath.
Mad respect.
Thank you!
My respect for this man went through the roof after this brilliant video. Very well done!
The editing here is better that nearly all the pros. Somehow it manages to takes stories I'm fascinated by to just mildly curious about (like this one) and tells a story that I feel immersed in. I feel empathy, I feel proud, I feel motivated, I am moved to tears in nearly every video on this channel, all due to the editing and and production of how these stories are told. I am not exaggerating when I say, this is one of the best to ever do it on CZcams.
Total agreement
Maybe you need emotional help if you're brought to tears so easily

I love that he addresses the toxicity of many UFC Legends in the beginning. This is why I became a ONE Championship viewer. The fighters there aren't about any drama or hype, just fighting and respect. A mentality that is missing in the UFC.
Same here.
Boring
Yeah, and the trash talk has been stale, it's always so cringey and lame. Chael Sonnen was the only one who had good talk
@@sexylazercatwizard he has that wwe trash talk
What do you want to see instead? Press conferences, where fighters assure each other how much respect they have all the time? Well, that sounds riveting!
If you don't care for the drama anyway, then just watch the fights. Avoiding press conferences is the easiest thing for any MMA fan. That's what I do. Just skip forwards to the fights and ignore everything else. Easy.
I felt so motivated by this piece. Thank you for showing how someone desire and dreams came to reality.
Bro, thank you so much for this documentary! It's so inspiring, so powerful, and so authentic! It's one of the best I've ever seen in my entire life! Chatri's life story deserves a movie
Chatri Gump is a Mythical Fighter. On a serious note, this brought me to tears. Well done
I'm 13 minutes in the video and I've just realized this documentary made by a CZcamsr! The video is higher production, quality and a lot more entertaining than the Netflix and the other streaming services documentaries.
Thanks for the video Patrick
Noiiice
This is the most motivating thing ive ever seen in my life. Thank you. Path to success is suffering. All we need to do is persist.
this doc moved me. the story, the footage the editing and story line. thank you.
What an inspiring story. I started watching ONE when Mighty Mouse got traded from the UFC and I have been very impressed with their promotion. One thing I've never liked about the UFC is how Dana and the organization treats their fighters. It's all about generating pay-per-views by promoting toxic personalities and then throwing away fighters when they don't get with the program. It's refreshing to see the direction that ONE Championship is taking the fight game.
lol
@@crazytimes1119turd!!! Every promotion is about making money. If not they wouldn't have investors. This guy is a proven lier. Don't watch a single TY Doc and think it's all fact and sunshine and roses
Tbf it's American culture.
I doubt that the story is 100% accurate, but regardless, ONE is attracting top talent from around the world for a reason. Many fighters have chosen to sign with ONE instead of UFC because they said ONE made them a better deal and treated them with respect during the negotiations, which has to count for something. As far as the toxicity and American culture, yeah there's a lot of A-holes who like the drama, but I'd say there's as many or more who want to see fighters treated well, get paid more, and want to see good sportsmanship and character both in and out of the ring. But I'm just a stupid American, what do I know?
@@omalley5196 That's right ik Drex who fights for One and many fighters arent really paid much at all... Just like UFC fighters don't ever really get a good amount of money for the risk they put themselves into
This guys had a incredible journey! Joe Rogan should have this guy on to hear his story.
Probably cos he’s all shite
Hw really should.... But I feel as If Dana would be REAL salty about it haha
It would definitely be conflict of interest. Dana would not be happy at all. Joe wouldn’t ruin that relationship
Only after him and Dana breaks up. Dana is a jealous boyfriend
Dana is a business man. Knowing that Joe would have him as a guest Dana would not care. He would trip tho if he would try to jump ship maybe idk
Man this was so cinematic. Great work man. You deserve more subs. Top tier content‼

Yo what a story. Within 8 minutes this story already have me reflecting my life and my current situation
Absolutely beautiful editing and storytelling. Thank you for creating this. I've been following the ONE series of fights since Amazon picked it up, and as a practitioner of martial arts myself, and adopting it as a way of life, Chatri's vision has appealed to me since the first ONE fight night I watched. After seeing this, and hearing his story, my respect for him has greatly deepened. His desire to bring heroes into the light and change the lives of talented (and previously impoverished) fighters is indeed bringing change and value to the world. A true warrior mindset takes more than commitment - it IS who you ARE. Chatri has compiled a roster of warriors, and I eagerly await each time I can watch his events.
Absolutely amazing. Leaves me speechless, the strength, courage, humility, depth of soul. One of the greatest inspirations I have ever been blessed to come across. Thank you, Chatri, for your warrior spirit and sharing it with the world. 💯💜🙏

Absolutely in tears at the end of this. My world fell apart during covid as a junior doctor, completely burning out, spiralling into depression and years struggling to get my license back and my life together. I'm almost out but I feel more burned out inside than ever before, like I lost the warrior spirit, that drive to get up in the morning. Incredible shame crushes me the moment I wake up and regret burns me to ashes until I sleep. This was a very timely video for me that came seemingly out of nowhere. Thank you Patrick and thank you Chatri for this wonderful example and message of hope. I used to chant the karate oaths in the dojo, "Endeavour, be faithful, seek perfection of character..." but on a deep level I never really associated fighting/warrior culture with living an honourable, worthwhile, loving life. Osu!

Chatri Sityodtong is a walking legend , absolute inspiration
This was amazing. I never knew much about Chatri Sityodtong. This guy is a man to look up to. Much respect and thanks for putting this video together.
Man, this could've been a Netflix doc in itself. I teared up when the dad left. Even before he said it I was thinking he felt ashamed and helpless he couldn't provide for his family. To lose everything from a good life to destitute that quickly is awful. I can't imagine the guilt trip he must've gone through during and after leaving his family. I give Chatri a ton of credit and I probably wouldn't even believe most of this if he was the only one saying it. It's highly sus to go from average to poor student in middle and HS and then some bridge college to Harvard Business School. The fact that he allowed his mom to live with him in his dorm and he was always looking at for her speaks volumes of his character. Just really odd how he started out as such an underachiever then suddenly is the most overachieving azn ever.
I mean you could double check with the internet
The majority of Asian cultures, the eldest boy in the family (if any) takes over the dad's role literally so whatever his age he's gonna have to grow up real quick because the future of his family clearly rest on his shoulders. In saying that quite a few have caved in under that amount of pressure but I'm glad Chatri had the maturity to understand and then do what was necessary for his family. If he didn't succeed we wouldn't have ONE championship right now 😂
I, 100% agree with this comment. My dad is Vietnamese. I don't know what it is for other cultures, but Asian fathers, I personally believe, held everything on their shoulders for their family. My father had to work for the family since very young, 14-15 years old, left high school to fend for his family during the Vietnam war. To this day, I can see it in his face, when there are days you can tell he's having a hard time to provide for us, but he keeps going.
@@VUVU-6H05T Yeah ít goes for majority of Asian cultures. The eldest boy or girl is practically the second mum/dad in the family so they take on the responsibilities if one of their parents passes away or like Chatri and one leaves the family.
Your father must be a very honorable man, he just does what needs to be done without any complaints. My father grew up during the Vietnam war as well but he fled to Hong Kong and then got sponsored by a friend from Australia so I'm pretty lucky to be living in a free democratic country 🤣

This is the best background story of a man and his company I have ever seen. The more I watch One Championship, the more the fire of interest burns. I have never been this interested in MMA since the PrideFC/Bushido went under. I love the mix-up of MMA, and Kickboxing OneFC is showcasing. @Patrick, you have earned a new subscriber. Great stuff, keep up the excellent work.

23:00 - "My father was very proud man, and the fact he couldn't put food on the table for his own wife and kids killed him, it wrecked him"
25:38 - "The path to greatness is suffering. Suffering through failure, through adversity, through tragedy. It is that journey of suffering that brings out our greatness. So that we may give back more than we receive"
Every video on this channel has been amazing, but this one has been the most powerful and inspiring to me, the best so far!
Great Words, From Great Thoughts.
What this man has done is truly inspiring. Incredible!
But not actually true
Every time I watch those documentaries from Gavia, it makes me cry and on the other hand inspire. Thank you for this another great lifting documentary.
absolutely phenomenal video, it really brought me to tears near the end but that ad read was easily the most slick thing i’ve ever seen
Incredible documentary.
Have a feeling ONE is going to be the UFCs biggest competitor in the next few years. Especially the way they’re promoting things like the SLAP Competition on their main CZcams page, constant problems with fighter pay and fighter treatment. Possibly when Dana White retires UFC will have their biggest threat.
As soon as the names we know or love are gone. Bruce Buffer, Joe Rogan, and even Dana are completely gone from the UFC. ONE will probably take over. Last few cards I’ve been leaning towards ONE already
@@aquaticlibrary Yeah man, totally agree. Watched ONE the other night and it was extremely entertaining with very skilled fighters. Could definitely see it taking over once big names start retiring in the UFC.
ONE FC is currently at 500 million in debt
@@iceKOId I understand, man. UFC wasn’t successful either in the beginning. Everything takes time, Rome wasn’t built in a day either. Never know how these companies turn out.
@@iceKOId the ufc was once in massive debt just shelling out money at a loss as well. No fight promotion starts off making money. You gamble and spend money to make it.
I really like their rules, the hydration thing, and how they mix it up with kickboxing and grappling fights from time to time. UFC needs a competitor like this to put them in check.
That hydration thing doesn't work. It's too easy to fool a hydration test... those fighters are still cutting.
I like One but the hydration thing is bs. They don't follow their own rules.
@@NotKimiRaikkonen they still have to be the same weight for a whole week. PLUS, they're not allowed to go to lower weight divisions. its safer than drastically losing weight all the way up until a day before the fight.
@@dineshsivakumar6294 wrong, multiple people have videos showing how easy it is to fool.
So much about ONE I didnt know about. Thank you for this
It’s so telling to compare Chatris relationship with his mum to Dana’s mum who has seemingly lost all respect for her son for what he’s become.
Dana's mum gives us all the biscuits and tea on Dana, he is definitely not the father figure to look up to, but as a business man the dude is a savage and I give him massive props for that, he knows how to market the UFC to American, Australian, Canadian and European fans who he is more than happy to take money from through PPV and fight nights that he doesn't even care about the Asian market where some of the world's top fighters come from. Chatri is aiming to market One Championship to the world and that Amazon Prime deal says everything! The UFC lacks certain aspects of promotion thanks to Dana's IDGAF attitude.
@@Patrick4Gooner agreed
Didn't she grow up telling Dana he'd "never amount to anything like his father"? I wouldn't have a good relationship with her either.
It’s spelled Mom
i think its telling somg about Danas mom that she is willing to lose respect for ther succesfull son. A good mom would help you dig a grave after you killed someone without question. Unconditional love. A mom who uses these tactics to tell the world how she lost respect for you is clearly playing something.
No Netflix documentary comes even close to your stuff Patrick! I had tears in my eyes during this. You are exceptional
one of the great ep, thank you for make this ep
BEST CZcamsR IN THE WORLD, LOVE THIS VIDEOS. I JUST CANT STOP WATCHING ITS AMAZING
Since watching ONE Champion ship am so impressed, with the level of entertainment. Especially, the Muay Thai, grounded knees in MMA, Rodtang Vs Mighty Mouse and Stamps story. Absolutely brilliant.
im american but live in manila, and ive been to 3 one fc championships. man the production quality is sooooo good. done proper and everyone cares about the fighters, and they get paid well. they put on a performance. i got to see mighty mouse, holy shit he's super fast in real life. anyways here in asia, its about the fight, not the trash talk . trash talking can be fun, but its kind of frowned upon out here. its about honor.
That’s cool but that makes it boring
As it should be !!
@@alexistrejo9062 then you must be a mayweather fan as well?
ONE is so refreshing for people who just want quality martial arts, without the cringy and forced trash talking lol.
I had been looking for a promotion that was nothing like the ufc, I'm glad I finally found One!
Unfortunately, ufc still has fighters I like so I'm still watching but I haven't wasted my money on any PPVs in years so I'm happy about that!
You cannot believe how much this documentary inspired me.
Woww.. That was very powerful. Thanks, Chatri for sharing his story, and special thanks to Patrick, the way you present it in this video ooooffff... Goosebumps and im tearing up, man.
Amazing once again. This story goes to show how far someone's belief in you can go. He may have gone against his mom's advice but her belief in him is was lead him to keep pushing
I absolutely love watching One. The way he built and they run it is amazing. The lack of drama between the fighters is refreshing, and showcasing the fighters lives is as well.
My heart is wrenched within this souls journey and I thank you for sharing your story and prevailing through faith and perseverance and staying true to your integral passion and moral fortitude in following your life’s purpose. Such a beautiful and humble truth that withstands life’s daily struggle and continues to move forward with achieving through the simplicity of your hearts truest gift…. Love and compassion for the warrior we are all meant to discover, yet only a few of us do. Thank you for the inspiration. Just, wow!
Thank you Patrick for introducing me to Chatri Sityodtong and his amazing and inspiring story. I really appreciate Ikigai. Something I had never heard before. Chatri is a blessing to humanity. God bless him and his family. God bless humanity 💜🙏🏾🕊✨💚
Wow! This was by far the most inspirational, heartwarming video I've ever seen on CZcams. Great job Patrick! 👏 👏👏 Insane to see what this man went thru and how he rose above it. ❤
Gives me the most inspiration and hope I've had in months :)
that ad segway was so so good usually I skip ads but this was so organic, keep it up your channel will blow up soon.
WOW!!!! Awesome documentary. Thank you for sharing your life journey with us Mister Chatri. Love from South Africa
this video had me feeling too many emotions at once, just the way how chatri became to what he was; the struggle, the doubt but still managing to push through and reach his passion and true goals, this story was just beyond perfection.
Exactly. Inspirational
Must admit, I did not know a lot about Chatri's story. Great doc Patrick. As always, the content is on point. Thank you. 🤜🤛
patrick never dissapoints. What this man has done is truly inspiring. Incredible!.
ONE of the greatest documentary, ONE of the greatest story, ONE who truly deserved our respect, ONE channel where I come back again and again. Never felt so good to click on a "Subscribe" button. Thank You!
These deeply human stories hidden under martial arts can inspire anybody from all backgrounds.
The way you bring these stories closer to all of us is a beautiful Ikigai for somebody to have.
Amazing video!
Thanks for bringing this to us Patrick 🫡 Dana Jet Lamborghini McGregor had this coming…..Chatri is worthy custodian and spokesperson of the sport… His fighters can hopefully be looked up to by young fighters…. Loved his take about life,fight & suffering 🙏🏼
That was absolutely beautiful to watch. Tears. So many reasons to feel this man’s journey.
You’re doing great stuff here man!❤❤❤
I love hearing Chatri talk about fighting, and what it's about. I couldn't agree more, it's those thing that keep me in gym's. It's a hard thing to describe and really counter intuitive to what people (who haven't trained) think. The nicest, humblest, and most down to earth people I've ever met and talked with were on a mat.
Ikigai should be taught in schools, what a good concept.
ONE in Denver seemed to be a card that rivaled the most stacked UFC card. It was a really fun watch. Crowd seemed electrifying and this guy seems down to earth and really has a love for martial arts. He and Dana are like the epitome of Eastern vs Western ideology
I don't think that Dana is the epitome of Western ideology. That's a undeserving approximation
You are insulting both Eastern and Western ideology by compare them to those host.
Neither of them are clean.
@@gonkong5638 Chatri is BY FAR a much better representative for Martial Arts compared to Dana, you can't even compare
Yes but it is Western that afforded him the opportunity to be doing what he’s doing right? I wish him nothing but the best and hopefully One becomes bigger than the UFC by a large amount.
@@James_Edward59 I agree definitely. I suppose I meant that Chatri is a much better representation of the traditional Eastern view of martial arts.
What Dana has done for Martial arts is incredible and I love what he does with the UFC. He’s has business genius. Competition is what benefits the Fans and Athletes. Both he and Chatri are dope but that’s more so what I meant
Brilliant, thanks Patrick!
Brother your videos are so good! Thank you for all you do!
ONE Championship and Chatri was always a mystery to me. Thank you for bringing this to light and sharing this amazing video together!
This is a very touching, heart warming, courageous, inspiring, humble, and extremely well rehearsed story. It's always hard to fully buy into a story from someone that loves to tell their story so much, and has it rehearsed to sound like a movie. I'm NOT saying that it's fake or made up, or that he's a liar, I'm just saying that he clearly likes telling his story and he's rehearsed it a lot.
This guy is a stud . Thanks for the upload!
