Former ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion Ok Rae Yoon believes his teammate will make believers out of critics in her upcoming match.

Ok’s fellow Team MAD representative, Ham Seo Hee, is set to face Stamp Fairtex for the ONE Interim Women’s Atomweight MMA World Championship in the main event of ONE Fight Night 14 on Friday, September 29, and he is confident she will show her mettle against the fan favorite.

“Ham Seo Hee is a fighter who will never lose,” he told ONE Championship in an interview. “She doesn’t look like she’ll ever lose against anyone. Although it is a World Title fight, she is highly unlikely to lose.” “Hamzzang” has 26 wins in her career, which has spanned over a decade and a half. The South Korean standout has won various accolades across multiple promotions across the globe, and she is now set to compete for her biggest prize yet.

Her opponent, Stamp, has already claimed gold in two sports in the world’s largest martial arts organization, winning the atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai belts at the start of her promotional tenure – but she is hungry for more. Ok recognizes the Thai megastar’s skills, but he believes that, despite the lack of World Titles in ONE, Ham possesses world-class striking prowess that may have gone unnoticed.

“I watched Stamp’s fight in front of my eyes in the United States. She was very good at stand-up fighting. She had already earned World Championships [in striking sports] and seemed to be using her striking well, even after transitioning to MMA,” he said. “However, I think this sport is highly relative, and I believe Ham Seo Hee will do better comparatively. She is also a skilled fighter with an impressive track record in stand-up fighting.”

Training with the same team as Ham, Ok has seen firsthand how hard the 36-year-old works, and he believes it makes her the best in the division. At the same time, he cannot deny that Stamp’s resume gives her a strong case to claim the same thing.

Whatever way the World Title battle goes down, the former lightweight MMA king made a bold proclamation about what fans are going to see on September 29. “In my opinion, both fighters have a similar level of stand-up fighting ability, but they possess unique strengths as well. That being said, I believe that Ham Seo Hee’s MMA striking skills surpass those of Stamp,” Ok said.
