Rich Franklin, Vice President of ONE Championship and CEO of ONE Warrior Series, stated: “I believe traveling to Australia will allow us to diversify the roster for ONE Warrior Series, and it is time for these athletes to make their impact in the organization. This will be our first, and long overdue trip to Australia, and we will get into some exciting activities for the upcoming episodes.”

Jonathan Fong, Director and Co-Host of ONE Warrior Series, stated: "After a year of traveling and searching all over Asia, we finally expanded our reach beyond to Australia and New Zealand. This region has already produced some elite level talent in ONE Championship including Martin Nguyen, Ev Ting, Reece McLaren, and Adrian Pang, among others. I'm also expecting the stakes for our activities in this region to be upped significantly, so viewers can look forward to that this season."

The show aims to discover new martial arts talent, providing promising young athletes with the platform to unleash their martial arts greatness.
