“It’s going to be a storm” – Fans already hyped for world title showdown between Xiong Jing Nan, Stamp Fairtex in Denver

This summer, fans are eagerly anticipating an intense battle as strawweight MMA champion Xiong Jing Nan defends her ONE world title against the current women’s atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex.

The promotion has revealed a major announcement that two of combat sports’ most renowned female fighters will be showcased at ONE Championship’s long-awaited comeback event in the United States on Friday, September 6. The event, known as ONE 168: Denver, will take place at the Ball Arena.

Ahead of what is expected to be an unforgettable showdown in The Mile High City, ONE is revisiting Xiong Jing Nan’s intense confrontation with the now retired and former ONE women’s atomweight MMA world champion, ‘Unstoppable’ Angela Lee, at ONE on Prime Video 2.

“Brace for impact. Is Xiong Jing Nan poised to secure the ONE Women’s Strawweight MMA World Championship against Stamp at ONE 168?”

ONE Championship fans appear to be divided in their predictions for ONE 168’s highly anticipated showdown, commenting:

“Panda is too strong to Stamp in the strawweight category”

“Obviously both fighters are ready for this duel. No doubt about everybody’s ability to win, I hope without injury, because it will hit hard”

“Let’s go Stamp! #AndNew”

“Even if nobody else is, I’m rooting for the champ. Love them both, but #AndStill”

“That’s gonna be lit”

“I hope @stamp_fairtex takes this one for Angela”

“It’s going to be a storm”

Will Stamp Fairtex Be the First to Defeat Xiong Jing Nan at ONE 168?

Since earning the inaugural strawweight MMA championship at ONE: Kings of Courage, Xiong Jing Nan has successfully defended her title an impressive seven times. She has taken down some of the most formidable opponents in the division, such as Tiffany Teo, Michelle Nicolini, and Angela Lee – whom she has defeated twice.

Undoubtedly, ONE Championship fans hold dear the iconic trilogy between Xiong and Lee. With both fighters showcasing impressive finishes in their first two bouts, their third and final showdown in 2022 was hailed as one of the most memorable fights in the history of women’s MMA.

On that particular evening, Lee fell short of dethroning ‘The Panda’ – a feat that Stamp Fairtex intends to achieve as she steps up in weight class with aspirations of claiming two titles in different divisions.
