Billed as events for the best up-and-coming superstars, ONE: NEXTGEN was nothing more than bullshit baffling brains!

The return of Alpha MMA (AMMA) was most certainly a joy to behold, not so much for fans of the sport as the event was mostly “spectatorless”, but more so for the athletes and all those those that work passionately behind the scenes to ensure that Amateur Fight Sports is alive and flourishing.
