"I always emphasize to management to think not only about the fights, but also about the career paths of these fighters. And thank God, even after its 10th anniversary, One Pride remains trustworthy," said Anindra Ardiansyah Bakrie, Chairman of the Indonesian Martial Arts Sports Committee (KOBI), at a press conference in South Jakarta on Friday.
Anindra emphasized that KOBI will continue to support athletes to perform at a higher level.
This year, One Pride MMA, through its Combat division, deactivated the welterweight, women's, atomweight, and strawweight classes, in order to prioritize the four main divisions: flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, and lightweight.
Of the 450 registered fighters, 50 were selected for the 2026 core roster through a rigorous selection process based on match performance, winning track record, and productive age.
This year One Pride MMA introduced the hystrike class, which features pure standing combat without ground fighting or submissions.
This rule set combines the best techniques from boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, and karate in a high tempo that demands accuracy, timing, and a steely mentality.
