Former ONE Lightweight World Champion, Ok Rae Yoon, understands the path to reaching the pinnacle of a division within the world’s largest martial arts organization. He holds the belief that his teammate is on the cusp of achieving similar heights.
In a recent interview with ONE, the South Korean fighter expressed nothing but admiration for his fellow Team MAD member, Ham Seo Hee, in anticipation of her clash with Stamp Fairtex for the ONE Interim Women’s Atomweight World Championship at ONE Fight Night 14, scheduled for September 29.
Ok Rae Yoon Explains Ham Seo Hee’s Greatest Strength
Dubbed “Hamzzang,” she is set to headline the star-studded event within the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Ok shared how Ham Seo Hee’s dedication propels him to exceed his limits during training sessions. “One of Ham Seo Hee’s most remarkable attributes is her unwavering commitment to intense workouts,” he stated. “When Ham Seo Hee takes a break, she fully unwinds. Yet, when it comes to training, she invests considerable effort and pushes herself to the limit.
“I often find myself wondering, ‘Doesn’t she ever experience exhaustion from such rigorous work?’ Consequently, I feel compelled to exert even more effort to elevate my performance to the utmost level”. Ham’s relentless work ethic plays a pivotal role in her accomplishments in mixed martial arts. At 36 years old, she boasts a professional record of 26 wins and 8 losses, securing regional titles across various promotions in Asia. Now, her focus is on clinching gold within ONE.
However, standing in her path is Stamp, who aims to become the first-ever three-sport World Champion in the promotion on September 29. The Thai striker has substantiated her ability to excel in MMA, having secured 10 victories in this multifaceted discipline. She nearly dethroned long-reigning divisional queen Angela Lee in her initial bid for the World Title in March 2022.
Ok Rae Yoon, thinks Ham Seo Hee has what it takes to get past Stamp Fairtex
Despite Stamp’s achievements, Ok is confident that Ham’s relentless commitment to refining her skills will shine through at ONE Fight Night 14. He firmly believes that she will claim World Title glory through her dedication.
“I firmly believe Ham Seo Hee has consistently stood as the finest competitor within the atomweight division. She held that position in the past, and continues to do so in the present, and I am confident she will maintain that standing in the future,” he asserted.
