#2. ONE Championship atomweight title bout between Angela Lee and Stamp Fairtex
The title bout between atomweight world champion Angela 'Unstoppable' Lee versus atomweight world Grand Prix champion Stamp Fairtex is bound to make history. For one, if Stamp wins this fight, she will become ONE Championship's first-ever tri-sport champion.
Trending
Since transitioning to MMA in 2018, the former ONE Muay Thai and kickboxing champion Stamp has come a long way with her grappling game. In 2021's atomweight Grand Prix, the flamboyant Thai masterfully handled ground specialist Alyona Rassohyna and out-classed MMA stallwart Julie Mezabarba. She even submitted wrestling world champion Ritu Phogat with a slick armbar.

With a blackbelt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a world title in Pancration, however, ONE atomweight queen Angela Lee is cut above the rest. If the charismatic and wild Stamp dares to play on the ground with Lee, she's definitely entering the champion's world.
Both have glaring strengths in one of two directions. Lee is a grappling marauder while Stamp is a kickboxing savant. One thing's for sure, however, this bout will be a scrap from start to finish.
#1. ONE Championship special rules match between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Demetrious Johnson
ONE Championship is venturing into the unknown with this brand-new experiment: a special-rules match.
Without a doubt, this mixed-rules bout between ONE flyweight Muay Thai champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and UFC legend Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson is the most anticipated in the event so far.
The blockbuster ONE Championship bout will be fought under a hybrid ruleset. Rounds one and three will be under Muay Thai rules, while rounds two and four will be contested under MMA rules.
What's intriguing is that we don't know how much grappling Rodtang has been doing in the past few months. As for Johnson, we've seen his brand of striking where he smoothly glides in and out of the pocket to connect slick combinations. Rodtang, however, is the opposite of that. You wouldn't expect the Muay Thai legend to dance around and use footwork to find openings. He's just gonna plod forward and kill you.
The bout has the potential to produce moments we've never seen before. With that said, it can either be the start of something truly great or a disaster never to be done again.
We'll just have to wait for ONE Championship: X to find out.
