ONE Strawweight MMA World Champion Joshua “The Passion” Pacio is excited about the recent groundbreaking announcement from ONE Championship.
The world’s largest martial arts organization recently named Sui as its blockchain partner, signaling a major leap toward integrating Web3 technology.
The collaboration will revolutionize the way fans engage with the promotion’s products. Central to this new initiative is the upcoming mobile game, ONE Fight Arena, developed in partnership with Animoca Brands and Notre Game.

Built on Sui’s world-class blockchain technology, ONE Fight Arena will feature a robust roster of ONE’s martial artists and a vast IP library.
The game will also introduce true digital ownership, marking a significant shift in the gaming experience for fans and players alike.
Pacio, who will be part of the game’s character lineup, is ecstatic about the innovation.
“This is an exciting development not only for the fans but also for us athletes,” he said. “To see ourselves as part of a next-gen gaming experience where fans can truly own in-game assets is incredible. It makes the bond between fighters and fans even stronger.”
The joint venture extends beyond just gaming. It will also power several other fan-centric offerings, including a comic/manga series about ONE athletes—accessible through zkLogin and the Walrus protocol on Sui.
Moreover, a free-to-play pick’em game will allow fans to win various rewards, including unique phygital collectibles—items that blend both physical and digital components.
The Filipino superstar is eager to get his hands on the ONE Fight Arena mobile game once it officially launches.
“I’ve always enjoyed video games in my downtime, and the idea of being a part of something new and innovative is thrilling. I can’t wait for the fans to experience it and be able to interact with us in such a unique way,” Pacio stated.
