5 biggest non-title fights we want to see in ONE in 2022

#2. ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix rematch - Denice Zamboanga vs. Ham Seo Hee

Denice Zamboanga entered the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix as the next challenger for Angela Lee’s world title. Winning the tournament seemed like the final step toward making that fight happen.

However, Zamboanga was shocked in her first match in the tournament, as she lost to dangerous South Korean veteran Ham Seo Hee. The match was met with a lot of controversy, which led to ONE Championship conducting an official review.

Unfortunately, the result was upheld and Zamboanga was eliminated from the tournament. Ham, for her part, was not able to compete in the semi-final round of the tournament due to an injury. Hence, there was no true winner in their matchup, as they both failed to compete in the later stages of the Grand Prix.

With Stamp Fairtex now earning the world title shot against Angela Lee, Zamboanga can turn her attention to settling the score with Ham.

After a controversial decision that took all the attention from their initial encounter, a rematch with a decisive winner can silence all doubts as to who the better fighter is between the two.

Needless to say, there is unfinished business between Zamboanga and Ham.

#1. Former ONE lightweight world champion Christian Lee vs. Eddie Alvarez

Christian Lee may still not be convinced that he lost the ONE lightweight world title to Ok Rae Yoon. However, he will have to wait a while for his rematch as Ok is currently sidelined with an injury.

Meanwhile, should Lee feel the need to be active, it may be the perfect time to revisit a feud from the middle of last year: his rivalry with UFC legend Eddie ‘The Underground King’ Alvarez.

‘The Underground King’ joined the promotion with hopes of claiming a world title in a third major combat sports promotion. However, he has yet to make an impact in the rankings, prompting ‘The Warrior’ to claim repeatedly that Alvarez was "not ready" for a title shot.

Misery loves company, as they say, and with both men coming off a loss to Ok, they could pour out their frustrations by facing off against each other. It may seem like Alvarez has more to gain in this match as far as rankings are concerned. However, Lee’s gain from this match goes beyond the rankings.

Lee has a chance to cement his legacy in the sport by defeating one of the best lightweights in history – a chance that the Singaporean-American superstar may find difficult to pass on.
