3 fighters who stand to gain and 2 who stand to lose the most at ONE X

#4. Kim Jae Woong, ONE featherweight - stands to lose

‘The Fighting God’ Kim Jae Woong knows the ONE featherweight world title is within touching distance. The South Korean fighter, who is the top-ranked fighter in the 70.3kg division, is touted as the next man who will challenge American-Vietnamese Thanh Le in a five-round championship tilt. But he'll have to get through #4-ranked contender Tang Kai.

Kim has knocked out three opponents in four outings inside the Circle, and each finish came in a different round, which serves as a clear reminder that his one-punch knockout power should never be counted out – even in later rounds. The 28-year-old star is in the form of his life, and he has always viewed Tang Kai as a ‘warm-up fight’ before he competes for the featherweight crown.

All of that, however, could be undone by the man standing opposite him at the promotion's 10-year anniversary show. Tang Kai is on an eight-match winning streak and is confident that he will, one day, wrestle the gold off Thanh Le’s shoulder.

A finish over 'The Fighting God' will give the Chinese star bragging rights, and perhaps see him leapfrog Martin Nguyen and Garry Tonon to get the next shot at gold. He hasn't tasted defeat in almost five years and believes he can be the man to stop the Kim-hype train in Singapore on Saturday.

#5. Angela Lee, ONE atomweight - stands to lose

The world’s youngest MMA world champion has a lot of pressure on her shoulders. ‘Unstoppable’ Angela Lee hasn't competed in almost two-and-a-half years, and some are concerned that the talented Singaporean-American martial artist may not have the same passion inside the ONE Circle after giving birth.

‘Unstoppable’ seems optimistic that she’s better than before, and she claims that her daughter, Ava Marie, has reignited the fire in her. But only time will tell if the longtime atomweight queen can leave the Circle with her hand raised.

Lee puts her gold and undefeated record in the women’s 52.2kg division on the line against Thai striking dynamo Stamp Fairtex.

On paper, the 25-year-old champion seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to describing what a complete MMA fighter is. But a flaw of hers that was exposed in her first fight against ONE strawweight queen Xiong Jing Nan is her inability to eat shots in the striking department – an area where Stamp is well-skilled.

The Thai superstar is going to keep her legs away from Lee’s takedowns while she tries to sting her with jabs and kicks. Should she triumph over the atomweight queen, Stamp will achieve her lifelong dream of becoming a three-sport world champion in ONE.

It'll be a difficult path to victory for the Thai. But given the impressive run she has enjoyed leading up to this pivotal clash, many believe she’s in a good place to upset Lee.
