ONE Championship's 1st Decade Big Game Held This Week, Bringing Champions From Different Divisions

JAKARTA - ONE Championship's international free-fight championship (MMA) marks a decade this weekend and the celebrations will feature a grand battle that brings together champions from various divisions, both men's and women's.

Quoted from Antara, Tuesday, 22 March, the match which will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Singapore, Saturday (26/3) is divided into three parts, namely ONE X: Grand Finale, ONE X: Part II, and ONE X: Part I. .

ONE X: The Grand Finale is the highlight of the event and can be watched Live via pay-per-view (PPV) at watch.onefc.com on Saturday, March 26 at 19:00 WIB. In the final, Angela Lee will face Stamp Fairtex for the ONE Women's Atomweight World Title.

As the reigning champion, Angela Lee has been on the throne for six years and is unbeaten in her division. On the other hand, Stamp has the confidence to overthrow the old rulers thanks to his beautiful and stunning striking ability.

Stamp is not a random name. She is a ONE Atomweight Kickboxing and Muay Thai World Champion and earned a place to challenge Angela Lee after winning the ONE Women's Atomweight World Grand Prix tournament late last year. If he beats his idol, then Stamp will be the first to taste World Titles in three different sports – MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing.

ONE X: The Grand Finale will also feature a super-fight between Demetrious Johnson and Rodtang Jitmuangnon. Both are known as the best fighters of all time in their respective disciplines. “Mighty Mouse” is the dominant champion in MMA, while Rodtang is a monster in Muay Thai that is hard to beat.

This peak event will also feature four other great matches including two World Championship title fights.

Meanwhile, ONE X: Part II can be watched Live on NETVERSE, Vidio, MAXstream, and Kaskus TV on the same day starting at 16.00 WIB. The national television station NET TV will broadcast a delayed broadcast of ONE X: Part II on the same day, at 22:00 WIB.

ONE X: Part II will culminate in two World Title bouts. Nong-O Gaiyanghadao will defend his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title against Felipe Lobo, while Capitan Petchyindee will face Hiroki Akimoto in a duel for the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title.

Apart from that, this event will also feature a match between two of the favorite female fighters – Itsuki Hirata and Jihin Radzuan, as well as a rematch between Denice Zamboanga and Ham Seo Hee. In the opener, ONE X: Part II will see Kim Jae Woong take on Tang Kai to determine who will be the next challenger to ONE Featherweight king Thanh Le.

The event will feature nine intense bouts culminating in the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix final between Chingiz Allazov and Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong. Prior to the final match, the owner of two MMA belts in middleweight and light heavyweight, Reinier de Ridder, will face Andre Galvao in a submission grappling match.

This will be a new challenge for De Ridder. Despite holding an unbeaten streak in 15 MMA fights, facing Andre Galvao in submission grappling is another level. The opponent is a multiple world champion with a wealth of experience. Even though they both have BJJ black belts, the Brazilian fighter has a deadly lock that can put opponents to sleep in an instant.
