The mma scene is getting better for every day.

ONE FC gained 22,000 likes since the announcement.

ONE FC has reached an exclusive partnership with Glory Sports International, which will result in a sharing of talent including fighters that could appear on the upcoming Glory/DREAM New Year’s Eve show in Japan.

ONE FC officials confirmed that with the new agreement in place, they will have access to the line-up of fighters under the Glory banner, and Glory will have the same access to fighters under contract to ONE FC.

Over the last several months, ONE FC has signed on partnership deals with numerous promotions in and around Asia, but this latest announcement only strengthens the upcoming Glory/DREAM card landing on New Year’s Eve in Japan.

According to sources, ONE FC lightweight Shinya Aoki will sign on to perform at the upcoming New Year’s Eve show against an as of yet unnamed opponent.

Also, top rated bantamweight Bibiano Fernandes is expected to fight on the New Year’s Eve Glory/DREAM card as well.

ONE FC has yet to announce news on their next card in 2013, but it appears for now they will focus on helping to promote the upcoming Glory/DREAM New Year’s Eve card in Japan.

Hey MR.WILLIE - This is an article from a major news site which is the first MMM news media announcement of this partnership on G-MMA. This article should have had it's own thread posted in the MMA forum as a top headline today and also be on the front page. The rest, including PNP's spot re: facebook should have then merged.

ONE Fighting Championship, Singapore's burgeoning MMA organization, and kickboxing supergiant Glory Sports International have inked an exclusive partnership that will allow Glory entry into the ONE FC Network, a fighter sharing program encompassing the most prominent gyms and organizations in Asia.

Fighters in both Glory and ONE FC will now be able to fight in either promotion, as well as the laundry of existing partners which includes Japan's DREAM, Thailand's DARE, Philippines' URCC, Korea's Road FC and Australia's CFC.

The effect of the partnership will be felt immediately, as ONE FC fighters Shinya Aoki and Phil Baroni are expected to fight on Glory and DREAM's co-promoted New Year's Eve comeback event. Former DREAM featherweight and bantamweight champion and current ONE FC standout Bibiano Fernandes is also expected to fight on the card, which is headlined by Glory's star-studded one night, 16-man heavyweight kickboxing tournament featuring a field including Semmy Schilt, Remy Bonjasky, Sergei Kharitonov, and Daniel Ghita.

Through the combination of the ONE FC Network and exclusive contracts with ONE FC fighters, ONE FC has a 90%+ market share in Asia.

This couldn't come at a better time with UFCs currently sad state with their major mishandling of the SF aquisition and almost joke status they entered with Bones fighting chael, weak fight cards oversaturated events and boring fights/fighters.

With Glorys recent merger with Showtime it makes them the premier kickboxing force, One FC is the premier org in Asia, Dream having its hooks in japan, CFC in Australia all thats missing is M-1 to come in with russia and bellator and WSOF to incorporate America and you got a legit Global MMA scene that could topple the evil empire!!!!! BWWAAHAHAH unite my minions!

EDIT: 11/30/12 WTF IS MY JIZZ MAN SMILEY?

Best MMA news of the year in my opinion.

ONE Asia Network now with ONE FC and DREAM as the major orgs. and Road FC, URCC, DARE, and CFC as feeder orgs. as well as some DEEP and Pancrase mixed in with GLORY kick boxers is unreal.

OneFC CEO Cui sees fight network as a sign of “exponential growth of MMA in Asia”

MMA Payout had the opportunity to speak with OneFC CEO Victor Cui about the company’s recent agreement with Glory Sports International to a fighter exchange program.

”[The move] shows the exponential growth of MMA in Asia,” Cui added, “It’s a distinct Asian approach.” Cui points to the collaborative and inclusive approach of the OneFC Network which was established during its Fighter Summit in 2011. Fighters in the OneFC Network are allowed to fight with other promotions and vice versa.

Although OneFC will not be promoting the event on December 31st, Cui’s OneFC fighters will be on the card. Cui confirmed that Bibiano Fernandez, Shinya Aoki, Phil Baroni and Melvin Manhoef are scheduled to appear on the New Year’s Eve card to be held at the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Cui indicated that there may be more OneFC fighters although nothing had been confirmed.

Via OneFC press release:

Both internationally recognized organizations have agreed to fighter exchanges. It means that any GSI MMA fighter will automatically be eligible to compete exclusively in Asia on ONE FC and any ONE FC fighter will automatically be eligible to compete in GSI MMA events which are currently held under the DREAM brand in Japan. Fighter exchanges are expected to happen with immediate effect. The fighter exchange program also covers ONE FC Network of other affiliate association and gyms across Asia.

Highlighting this recent collaboration, Cui extolled the virtue of the OneFC fighter exchange program stating “it’s for the benefit of its fighters, fans and promoters.” Cui indicated that the program ensures that the participating promotions will take care of its fighters.

As for OneFC, it plans on doing 12-14 of its own events in 2013 starting in Malaysia on February 2nd. Cui projects the company doing 18-24 events in 2014. It also boasts an ESPN television contract in Asia which will help with the promotion of its product.

Payout Perspective:

The fighter exchange is a unique idea and should bolster the New Year’s Eve show for Glory and Dream. OneFC will still benefit from the exposure of its fighters at the event and will be able to utilize any Glory fighters for its own events. With a television contract with ESPN, we should look for more promoters to work with OneFC. Cui also indicated that OneFC will have big news with a major sponsor for 2013 which will be announced next month. MMA Payout will keep you posted.

Great to hear that there may be more ONE fighters coming to NYE. I hope they bring in Boku. Kim or Zoro would be great as well as a number of others but at least Boku.
