After five months of hiatus, the biggest Mixed Martial Arts promotion, ONE Championship, is set to return this July 31 in Thailand.

ONE Championship’s comeback will feature ONE: No Surrender and will be behind closed doors and audience-free as part of their safety protocols.

“After a successful ONE Hero Series 13 and 14 in China last weekend, ONE Championship will now kick off our flagship event schedule with ONE: No Surrender on July 31 in Thailand,” ONE CEO and Chairman Chatri Sityodtong said.

The launching of ONE’s flagship event will then be followed by ONE Dark Series:12 extra pre-taped matches for ONE fans and viewers from all over the world.

“We will also be holding 12 extra fights on that day for the newly-launched ONE Dark Series, a taped first-air product for our broadcast partners and fans around the world,” Sityodtong added.

With the announcement of the return date, Sityodtong and his team are currently working on the fight cards, aiming for several title-fights as a treat to the viewers.
