The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), recently held a special Meet and Greet session at the Southwest Boys & Girls Club in Seattle. In attendance was ONE Championship athlete Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, accompanied by mixed martial arts legends Rich Franklin and Miesha Tate.
Demetrious Johnson, ONE Athlete, stated: "I am very excited to make my ONE Championship debut. I feel as though the organization represents the true values of martial arts which I really take pride in, like being humble and respectful. ONE Championship is everything that is great about martial arts. Even in events like this, where I get to visit the children at the Southwest Boys & Girls Club and share with them the benefits of martial arts in people's lives, it's an honor for me to be able to do this. We're about a month out to Tokyo, and I'm excited to face Yuya Wakamatsu. I think he's a very tough, well-rounded opponent and it should be a good test for me."
