Tom DeBlass is now officially the Vice President of Grappling for ONE Championship – alongside Leo Vieira!
And yes, he is very excited about the improvements he’ll pursue along the way.
DeBlass shared how it felt to earn the opportunity:
When Chatri Sityodtong presented me this opportunity, I immediately said yes.
What a blessing for me.People work their entire lives to earn a position such as this, and that is exactly what I did.
While I never thought to be the Vice President of grappling in the biggest martial arts organization in the world, I have totally dedicated my life to Jiu-Jitsu, and every day, God proves to me that my efforts are rewarded.I have fallen short so many times, and I understand the road will be bumpy again, yet we don’t stop.
Ever.
He also shared how athletes will benefit from this:
You can expect total honesty and transparency.
I was an athlete before I was a business man, (the same way Leo was) and understand what it is to be you.
