ONE Championship’s Debut Event in Qatar
The anticipation for ONE Championship’s inaugural event in Qatar reached new heights with the announcement of Stamp Fairtex’s first defense of her recently acquired ONE women’s atomweight MMA world title. This highly anticipated fight will take place at ONE 166: Qatar on March 1 at Lusail Sports Arena.
Stamp Fairtex, a former three-sport world champion in ONE Championship, will be facing off against her former teammate and close friend Denice Zamboanga. This match has the potential to be a career-defining moment for both fighters, as Zamboanga will be competing for her first world title in ONE Championship. A victory over Stamp could propel her to unprecedented success.
Stamp Fairtex earned her world title by knocking out South Korean superstar Ham Seo Hee at ONE Fight Night 14. Originally scheduled as an interim title fight, the match was elevated to an undisputed world title bout after Angela Lee, the inaugural women’s atomweight MMA world champion, retired from the sport.
Denice Zamboanga, currently the second-ranked contender in the women’s atomweight MMA division, comes into this fight with two consecutive wins against Lin Heqin of China and Julie Mezabarba of Brazil.
ONE 166: Qatar is set to be an action-packed event with a total of five world title fights. In addition to Stamp Fairtex’s defense, the card features Anatoly Malykhin challenging Reinier de Ridder for the ONE middleweight MMA world championship, Jarred Brooks defending his ONE strawweight MMA world title against Joshua Pacio, the unification match between Tang Kai and Thanh Le for the undisputed ONE featherweight MMA world title, and Tye Ruotolo defending his ONE welterweight submission grappling world title against Izaak Michell.
