Chatri Sityodtong to Represent MMA at Forbes Global CEO Conference

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is one of the fastest growing sports in the entire world. Thanks to visionaries like ONE Championship Chairman Chatri Sityodtong, the MMA industry is experiencing a tremendous boost in global viewership and influence over the past few years, particularly in the Asian region where Sityodtong and the promotion is focused on developing.

Sityodtong is set to share his experiences at the Forbes Global CEO Conference on November 29 in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is the 16th iteration of the annual event which brings together over 400 global CEOs, tycoons, entrepreneurs, up-and-comers, capitalists and thought leaders.

2016 is particularly noteworthy because, it will be the first year the conference is attended by an individual representing the sport of MMA.

Just a few years ago, MMA in Asia was a relatively niche sport with a strong following. There have always been local martial arts communities generating interest in the sport but nothing that really took it to the next level, until ONE Championship came along.
