‘The Sniper’ said:
“Ham’s experience will be to her advantage. She’s spent so much time in MMA, and that will be an advantage because she can use all of her prior experience when she takes on Stamp. I think someone will get knocked out here if they focus on their striking. If this fight hits the ground, I know that someone will be submitted. [If I have to pick], I would pick the veteran. I’m going with Ham.”
Taking things a step further, Loman broke down each fighter’s advantages and disadvantages, which helped him come to his conclusion that victory would be on the South Korean veteran’s side.
Loman added:
“The striking edge belongs to Stamp because she came from Muay Thai. That’s her department. I think she’ll use that against Ham. I’ve also seen that Stamp is very adaptable. She quickly learned her ground game, and her training camp is a place where they can quickly improve their skills in MMA.”
Meanwhile, Stephen Loman himself will be in action at ONE Fight Night 14. Loman is set to face former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion ‘Hands of Stone’ John Lineker in a pivotal bantamweight clash.
