The enthusiasm from the crowd for ONE’s superstars was contagious. There were no words to describe the love and support both Japanese and international fans have for ONE’s athletes gracing the stage.
Legendary MMA athlete Renzo Gracie easily won over MMA fans with his humor, charm, and warrior spirit. Anyone in attendance can understand why he is an instant crowd favorite among MMA fans.
