“I think it’s the best one out there” - Helena Crevar says ONE Championship’s martial arts product is tops in industry

American submission grappling ace Helena Crevar had a lot of suitors but eventually decided to take her talents to ONE Championship.

Her highly anticipated promotional debut in the world’s largest martial arts organization finally has a date, as she faces fellow newcomer Teshya Alo at ONE Fight Night 39.

This 10-minute bantamweight submission grappling showdown will take place at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Jan. 23, live in U.S. primetime.

For Crevar, joining the home of martial arts was a no-brainer since her prodigious talents belong on the global stage.

The 18-year-old Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu athlete told ONE Championship in an exclusive interview:

"I really like the show. I think it's the best one out there because it has different sports like MMA, submission grappling, Muay Thai, and things like that, and it's a super big crowd, and the venue and everything looks amazing. So, when I got the opportunity [to join ONE], I was really excited to take it."

Crevar is just one of many elite grapplers on the promotion’s roster signed by ONE Vice President of Grappling Tom DeBlass.

Given her world-class skills and undeniable charisma, the youngest ever ADCC podium placer and CJI2 women’s tournament winner will certainly fit right in.
