Chief Sales and Services Officer at DirecTV, Mike Wittrock, said in a statement, “Mixed martial arts continues to grow in popularity across the country, so we’re excited to deliver One Championship events to bars and restaurants nationwide. Our ability to deliver One Championship to customers across the country on their existing equipment further validates our leadership in sports and entertainment by offering customers premium content.”
Earlier in 2023, One tested this out by making One on Prime Video 10 – the event featuring the rubber match between Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes – watchable on a limited number of restaurants and bars through DirecTV for Business. The list of establishments that include a plethora of Buffalo Wild Wings and Twin Peaks Restaurant chains across the U.S. can be found on a specific One Championship site that also allows for bars to sign up to receive these broadcasts.
One on Prime Video 14 will be going down inside of the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, on Sept. 29. A 115-pound championship tilt between Stamp Fairtex and Seo Hee Ham will serve as its headliner, and women will largely take the stage across the main event. In the co-main slot, Smilla Sundell and Allycia Hellen Rodrigues square off for the 125-pound muay thai title, and the “featured fight” brings Danielle Kelly against Jessa Khan for the 115-pound submission grappling belt. Rounding out the final four matchups, Jingnan Xiong and Nat Jaroonsak square off in a mixed rules striking match at 125 pounds.
