Lito Adiwang believes Denice Zamboanga cannot play to "Stamp's style or tempo" in world title bid on June 7

If you try to match Stamp Fairtex's aggressive style and fast pace, you're going to lose.

That's the belief of Filipino standout Lito Adiwang, who recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming atomweight MMA world title clash between the defending champion and No.2-ranked contender Denice Zamboanga.

"She shouldn’t fight under Stamp’s style or tempo, because Stamp is at a different level when she gets you in her style," Adiwang told ONE Championship.

The Fairtex Training Center star will put her ONE atomweight MMA world championship on the line against Zamboanga when the promotion returns to Impact Arena on Friday, June 7 for ONE 167.

Denice Zamboanga is an undeniably talented fighter who has secured some big wins during her run under the ONE banner. She kicked off her stint with the promotion with three straight victories, including dominant back-to-back performances against Jihin Radzuan and Mei Yamaguchi followed by a first-round submission against Watsapinya Kawkhong.

'The Menace' fought her way to a ONE world title opportunity with two more big wins in her last two outings, besting 'Fighting Sister' Lin Heqin and Julie Mezabarba.

But as good as all of those women are, none of them can hold a candle to the experience and world-class striking that the defending queen brings to the Circle.

Stamp Fairtex ready to add to her legacy at ONE 167

After winning both the ONE atomweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world championships, Stamp Fairtex made the move to MMA and immediately made her mark, winning the ONE Atomweight MMA World Grand Prix tournament in 2021 with a trio of wins over Alyona Rassohyna, Julie Mezabarba, and Ritu Phogat.

That set the stage for a showdown with the promotion's inaugural atomweight MMA queen, Angela Lee.

She came up short in her first MMA title bid, but she responded as any world champion would, winning three straight fights en route to a world title-winning performance against Ham Seo Hee at ONE Fight Night 14 on Prime Video.

Will Stamp score another win and collect her first atomweight MMA world title defense, or will Zamboanga shock the world and bring Stamp's latest reign to a crashing halt?

ONE Championship fans in the United States can watch ONE 167 live and for free in U.S. primetime on Friday, June 7.
