One Championship just made a huge announcement and UFC president Dana White reacted in his classic style, as always.

One Championship – The Home Of Martial Arts is Asia’s largest sports media property. They are on a mission to celebrate the true beauty of martial arts through the development of global superheroes.

They recently announced that they will be cutting one-fifth of their workforce even though they just raised $70 million in their latest round of funding. “One” hasn’t staged an event since the 28th of February due to the global pandemic and the lockdown measures in place.
