I want both and I'm pretty sure I speak for 90% of not just Tapology users, but all MMA fans, when I say they want the same.
Of course I love the fight, the skill, technique, heart, sheer madness of it all. But I want to be entertained.
Imagine MMA with no Cowboy, no My Balls was Hot! No I predict deez Tings!, no Bethe Correira horrible booty  shake dance, no Colby Covington stirring up all the Trump haters, no Jon Jones Picograms!!!!

Do you need to go on???

MMA is a *******entertainment business, deal with it.  Or stick to ONE,,, Chatrii.
Oh wait a minute Asian MMA was built on characters it was born out of Japanese Catch Wrestling.  Genki Sudo, Sakuraba and Nobitsu Takada(the man who help creat and main evented Pride 1 vs Rickson in case you don't know)
As for ONE, do you listen with the sound off? Thete is no more hyperbolic ******* than Mike Schiavello! The walk outs of Stampand  Petchdang are basically Pop concerts!!!  They signed ******* Vitor Belfort and gave him free rain to form TRTitor!!!! They signed Super Sage!!! Yeah but ONE don't do gimmicks.
All.......About........Honour.......and.......Respect!!!!

put that in yer pipe in' smoke it pal!

1 more thing you think fight sports doesn't attract characters?????
Are you mental????
To be a fighter 1 of the main personality traits is character, as in being a bit different "that guys a character" those kinds of people.
Fight sports is full of them

So if YOU don't want to watch characters go watch Golf, Cricket or paint dry!!!

I listen to the commentary on ONE Championship because the commentators are actually very good, and to your other point Angela and Christian Lee are two of the most respectful athletes in MMA today, and they just happen to of the biggest stars that ONE Championship has.

Yeah the commentators who constantly lie!!

According to them ONE Championship is viewed by over a Billion "potential" viewers. They have 1000 Champions! Whether thats a legitimate World title or a White Belt Karate Champion from the All State Valley High School Championship, they all count the same. They are extremely biased, a recent example being the last Folayang fight vs Mongolian(forget his name) but whatever Folayang landed Schiavello screamed ThevBig KABOSH like an excited school girl! 2nd round Mongolian starts piecing him up, not a peep. Mongolian drops and bursts Folayangs face open. Fight stopped, suspiciously the fight clock disappeared. Whys that important? Because after 2:30 of rd 2 fight goes to scorecards. Miraculously the fight stopped at 2:29 apparently giving Folayang the decision win! ********!
Or Big money/name signing Georgi Petrosyan loses in the 1st rd of the Kickboxing GP. They fudge the rules the day after the fight and makr it a no contest, replay the fight, give Petrosyan the win.

Yeah So much Honour.

I'm done with you because you don't know how to debate. All you do is make more statements with no evidence and you avoid answering questions.

Back to your Spaghetti hoop slurping!

Anyone one of you thinking conor will fight anyone else at 170 is dumb. Hes not going for masvidal. He expects to be handed a rematch with khabib after a win in a higher weight class. McGregor is rightfully the favorite but Cerrone has a clear path to victory. Safe money bet is fight doesnt go distance

ONE does it 100% right they have some great unknown talent care about rankings and they respect each other but they wont ever be bigger in america than ufc till they start signing bigger names that people can pronounce and fighters that dont all look the same. Asia wants the best fighters boobs in america want drama. Here they think if you can talk you can fight lol

they really trying to kill this Ledet guy xD... 

Elliot vs Askarov is going to be fun, leaning Elliot here.

Andre Fili vs Sodiq Yusuff and Nasrat Haqparast vs Drew Dober going to be nice as well, taking Fili and Haqparast for the win.

Boring ass main event as there is really no value as for now with these two... Cerrone deserves the payday but shouldn't be in the cage with that Irish man... I'd love to see Gaethje vs Mc Gregor or Masvidal vs either one of them.

@Mikey1903

The fight that you're referring to was a kickboxing match in which the original winner broke the rules to get the win, that's why it was overturned to a no contest.

but I guess they going to make Connor vs Diaz III some day as Khabib is possibly going to get finished by Tony, double knock out as the Cucuy uses to say

Broke the rules#???  Why was the ****** fight not stiopped there and then, why did the judges award the fight and nobody says **** all?  Not til Chatri (your boss!) decides he wants his new big signing in the GP and makes them fight again! 

I know exactly what happened!

All that happened is that an incorrect call was reversed, what can be wrong about getting the call right?  I guess you like the horrible NFL referrees too.

There was nothing wrong with the victory in the 1st place!!!! Only thing that was incorrect was the wrong guy won.

Seriously, I'm done with you and this topic.  I like ONE but I am not blind or dumb enough to ignore the shady side!

The Camur v. Ledet fight is interesting.



Rewatched DWCS with Camur. He was -400 and got stunned with left and kind of pulled hail Mary flying knee in response for win early in 2nd. Prior he had ko all in 1st round. Stipe camp, has a fair bit of hype, clearly tuff but not super impressive to me. He is a strong, power puncher. I'd love to see him face DWCS alum Punahele, who I would favor.

Ledet went distance with Rakic got bum rushed by Johnny Walker. However he is generally successful and experienced against the middling opponents prior. Peeps on here are on the -150 Camur. I need to cap this some more, as I lean Ledet. I dont think I need to be in a hurry to bet it  as I imagine the fave will be bet up as the fight nears.

Pennington has ugly body, ugly record, but is tuff, fights tuff people and owes Holm for split loss, I lean her but board doesnt.

I love Maycee she did me right last fight, but Roxane has only been knocked out once, laying -900 here is insane

Im with you. Ledet is the bigger and much more crisper boxer. Camur throws solo heavy shots with no set ups while ledet throws multiple strike combos. I feel ledet has also faced better opponents. Theres the chance camur lands one of those heavy shots but i suspect he will get out boxed.

I'll take my chances with Camur. 

Gotta think Ledet's confidence is shot after being mauled against Rakic and highlight reel Ko'd by Johnny Walker.

Camur vs. Ledet
Aleksa Camur, DEC
I'm not sure where Ledet's motivation is. He hasn't posted to his Instagram since January and it looks like he's been coaching on the regional scene in the past year. If he's taking this fight just for a paycheck, he's going against a young fighter looking to make a splash in the LHW division. I think this is going to be a close fight if Ledet survives the first round, but I'll go with Camur on motivation alone.
