Marcus Almeida isn’t happy with how things currently stand with ONE Championship.
Almeida, a jiu-jitsu legend who turned to MMA in 2021, is frustrated with the lack of fights he’s been presented by the organization since his last appearance – a showdown with Oumar Kane in August 2023. “Buchecha” makes his return Friday night at ONE Championship 169 in Bangkok. He takes on Amir Aliakbari in a heavyweight bout.
Almeida is not sure why it’s taken him 15 months to return to fighting, and he’s not content about it.
