In the just-concluded ONE156, the successfully defended lightweight kickboxing world champion Logan Elso, the youngest record-setting 17-year-old women's grassweight Muay Thai world champion Smira Sandel, the three-time knockdown reversal Liam Harrison and the naked hanging legendary "jiu-jitsu prodigy" Mitch Musumec, a total of four players won the best race bonus while raising the winning arm. Attentive viewers noticed that the four men didn't exactly get the bonus in the same way, and even varied in bonuses, with Harrison getting a double bonus — $100,000.
Since the introduction of the best race bonus system for one championships, Chatri Siyutang, chairman and CEO of the ONE Championships, the intensity and excitement of the competition have been greatly enhanced. On March 11, "ONE: The Immortal Light" made a historic finale night, ending nine of the ten matches, with an astonishing 90% end rate, and Chatri gave away five fifty thousand dollars in bonuses that night. However, this data was quickly broken. After the "ONE:X" match on March 26, in addition to tang kai, Akimoto Haogui, Jiang Zhiyuan, Lee Shengzhu, Akiyama Seung-hoon, Kelly, Andinasam seven boxers received a $50,000 bonus, through fan voting, Australian legendary Muay Thai champion "Gunner" John Wayne Parr won the eighth $50,000 bonus with 42% of the vote.
With their own efforts, Chinese boxers are no less than "receiving red envelopes". In January, in "ONE: Invincible", "Golden-winged Roc" Zhang Lipeng defeated "Snow Leopard" Lu Silan, who had defeated many Chinese boxers in 32 seconds, and won a 50,000-dollar bonus. Zhang Peimian, known as "China's strongest middle school student", knocked down TKO's "time bomb" Josh Toner four times in two rounds in "ONE: Immortal Light", becoming the first Chinese kickboxer to receive 50,000 bonuses. In "ONE:X", "KO Male God" Tang Kai won 50,000 U.S. dollars in bonuses for 2 minutes and 07 seconds KO Featherweight Ranking No. 1 In Korea's "God of War" Kim Chi-woong.
How to get the bonus, like how to win, has become a major topic for boxers to study. Chatri responded to this problem and personally "taught a lesson" to the boxers. Before the ONE156 match, Chatry brought all the boxers together and spoke about the two criteria for getting the best match bonus.
"First, show me the most powerful technology in the world, even if it is a simple low sweep, I want to see the perfect presentation, I want the audience to involuntarily 'wow' out." 」 Second, courage, whenever you have the opportunity to end the game, to the end, do not hesitate. The real core of fighting is that when you really encounter a difficult opponent in real life, or a small on the street, do you dare to resist and fight back! ”
With the development of professional fighting, the rules have been thoroughly studied, and some boxers have begun to prefer to use a less risky, more secure way to win the game with points, and even the wrestling control style that boxing fans jokingly call "prayer flow" has appeared, and they are reluctant to risk ending the fight. Chatri hopes that through the bonus system, boxers will not forget their original intentions and work hard to end the game.
"I don't know if you know, we have the highest finishing percentage in the world, our ONE Championship has a 72% finishing rate, compared to the UFC and Bellator only 40%. Because our players are killers and monsters. All of you are like that, because you understand the core of fighting, which is to end the game. There is no limit to the number of people in the fifty thousand dollar bonus, and I can give it to one person or ten people, as long as they are bright enough, I don't care. Every game is like this, go into the arena and set the night on fire! ”
In addition to victory and finishing, Chatry also pays special attention to the process of the game, as long as the spirit of the fighter is displayed, the chances of obtaining bonuses can be increased. "The most beautiful Muay Thai goddess" Ikatrina Vandayeva didn't even win the match against Supergirl, but Chatry gave her a bonus, recognizing her fighting spirit in the game. "Killer" Liam Harrison got a double bonus of $100,000, also because of his spirit of "never giving up and fighting to the end".
Which of these boxers who get the bonus, which one do you like the most? Who do you think will be the next Chinese boxer who can get fifty thousand dollars in red?
