Exec dares 'arrogant' rival outfit to pit ONE, UFC champs in superfight

ONE Championship's top executive issued a challenge to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) — if you think you're that good, why don't you put your money where your mouth is.

Chatri Sityodtong was irked by a comment made by UFC top official Joe Carr, who belittled the chances of ONE atomweight champion Angela Lee against UFC strawweight title-holder Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Carr, UFC's vice president of international content, said: “It’s not really close and I don’t think it’ll be competitive,” he said in the New Paper.

That didn’t sit well with Sityodtong.

“I am disappointed by the western arrogance displayed by the UFC, especially as guests in our home of Asia. The theme of foreigners coming here and bashing Asians is not a new one,” the ONE chief executive said. “If they (UFC) really believe they are the best, then they should have no issues accepting our humble invitation of our world champion versus their world champion.”
