On August 3, 2024, Beijing time, ONE Championship, an internationally renowned sports IP, will bring "ONE: Summit Series 24" to fans. There will be 12 fights on the day, including mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling rules, with the following seven highlights:
1. Two wrestling masters compete for the interim strawweight championship
In the Interim Strawweight Mixed Martial Arts World Championship, former Strawweight Mixed Martial Arts World Champion Jarred "The Monkey King" Brooks will battle Gustavo "The Gladiator" Balart for the interim belt. Brooks won the Indiana State High School Wrestling Championship in high school, and since arriving in the Circle, he has relied on his strong wrestling skills and grappling ability to win four straight victories. Balat is a three-time Pan American Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion and represented Cuba in the quarter-finals of the London Olympics at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Despite being only 150 centimeters tall, Balart has also won four straight victories since moving to strawweight. In mixed martial arts, whoever is more well-rounded has a better chance of winning. Both fighters want to prove that they are the best mixed martial arts fighters in the strawweight division.
2. The battle of self-proof of Jiu-Jitsu beauty champion Kelly
Women's atomweight submission grappling world champion Danielle Kelly will face Brazil Jiu-Jitsu star Mayssa Bastos in her first title defense. Bastu is a nine-time Jiu-Jitsu World Champion and is considered the strongest challenger. Kelly was "looked down upon" by many before the match against Basto, much to the displeasure of the champion: "I don't feel like I'm being respected enough. I wasn't fancied before the race because she had won a lot of honours. But I can't wait to prove people wrong. Will Kylie be able to withstand the pressure, successfully defend her title, and prove herself?
3. Yu Luongpei hit seven consecutive wins
Hong Kong's Yu Luang Pui is riding a new seven-bout winning streak against Amy Pirnie in an atomweight Muay Thai bout. Pirny has a 26-4 professional record and 10 knockout victories. Yu admits that her opponent is strong, but she also sees her strengths and hopes to make it a seven-game winning streak. "Pirny is a very experienced fighter, but it takes a lot of energy to maintain such a muscular body and keep fighting. She hasn't played in a long time and I'm probably better fit and in shape than hers. I don't like to predict how the game will go. I know anything can happen in the ring, anything is possible. I'm going to speak with my fighting performance! ”
4. Five Muay Thai fights, ten Muay Thai generals fought against each other
In the bantamweight Muay Thai bout, 20-year-old Nabil Anane is riding a three-bout winning streak to challenge third-ranked Brazil powerhouse Felipe Lobo. Nabil is staggering 192 centimeters tall.

Rob nearly cornered the reigning king by knocking out Jonathan Haggerty with a combination of punches in the Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship. Against a rising star who is 17 centimeters taller than himself, will he be able to keep his top three rankings?
