ONE Championship’s one-sided contracts; Adriano Moraes

We've got a copy of a ONE Championship contract and it has some of the most restrictive language we've seen.

Over the years, John Nash has reviewed contracts from all the major MMA promotions and several big boxing contracts, as well. We’ve been able to see just how restrictive, and at times, draconian, most of the MMA agreements between promotions and athletes truly are. The UFC set the standard with their boilerplate contract and with new changes, have made it more difficult for fighters to seek legal recourse. It seems that the competition followed suit with their own lopsided deals, making adjustments as needed, but by and large, there’s not a wealth of difference in the way they all operate.

Enter ONE Championship
Recently, John acquired a ONE Championship contract and as he went through it, one thing became clear: ONE has some of the most restrictive language of them all. In this episode, we’ll go through the contract point by point, and because it was made publicly available from a lawsuit, we’re able to share it with our readers and listeners so that they may follow along. There are a few very interesting sections and one even had us scratching our heads. Let’s just say ONE definitely has their fighters’ finances under a microscope—even their personal finances outside competition. The most pertinent points of conversation have been highlighted for ease of reading.

Points of interest
•Whose contract is it and how did we acquire it?

•Why are there line-throughs on the cover page?

•What are the differences in this contract and those of the UFC, Bellator or the PFL?

•What are the differences in the promotional rights between the promotions?

•Do ONE Championship fighters have any say in where they will compete?

•Why would they need a new contract?

•What about the champion’s clause and duration of rights?

•For what reasons and for how long can ONE Championship extend their contracts?

•What about obligations, is there anything noteworthy there?

•What happens if a fighter gets injured or retires?

•What’s the oddest thing ONE Championship can terminate a contract for?

•Does ONE Championship have an exclusive negotiating period and a right to match?

•Why is their confidentiality agreement so restrictive?

•Why is so much of the contract “in perpetuity” and what’s up with their disparagement clause?

•Do they have an arbitration clause?

•What do their benefits and per diem look like?

•Is ONE required to offer three fights per year?

Conor wordt lastig verslaan met snelste knockout bij lightweight maar Green was snel zeg.

Die Pyfer is ook een beest. Ook al zag hij er flink kwetsbaar uit toen hij wat legkicks kreeg te verwerken. De hype die begon in DWCS kan door.

Weet niet op welke finish jij doelt. Hij heeft niemand gefinisht in de eerste ronde op 155.

Snelste finishes op 155.

Oh ja, Aldo was op featherweight

Daarna Alvarez en toen boksen en vervolgens alleen nog maar op 170 willen vechten. Want titels verdedigen dat is allemaal maar onzin.

Blij dat ie opgerot is.
