The highly anticipated title defense will take place at the upcoming ONE 166 event in Qatar on Friday, March 1. Stamp and Zamboanga have trained together extensively, adding an extra layer of intrigue to their matchup. Stamp’s MMA journey hasn’t been without setbacks, as she suffered a defeat to Angela Lee in her first bid for an MMA throne. However, she bounced back with a decision victory over Jihin Radzuan and then made a statement with a brutal body kick TKO win over Alyse Anderson at ONE Fight Night 10.
Zamboanga, on the other hand, is coming off consecutive wins against Lin Heqin and Julie Mezabarba. She will be looking to dethrone Stamp and claim the atomweight championship for herself. The event will also feature other exciting matchups, including Reinier de Ridder vs. Anatoly Malykhin for the middleweight championship and Jarred Brooks vs. Joshua Pacio for the strawweight championship.
