MMA Legend Ham Seo-hee Possible One Championship Title Fight in the US
Women’s mixed martial arts legend Ham Seo-hee (35) has raised the possibility of challenging the throne through the number ring (level 1) competition held for the first time in the United States by Asia’s largest organization ‘ONE Championship’.
On May 6, 2023 (Korean time), ONE on Prime Video 10 will be held at the First Bank Center (capacity 6,500) in Broomfield, Colorado, USA. The main event is the first defense match between mixed martial arts flyweight champion Demetrius Johnson (36, USA) and Adriano Morais (33, Brazil).
The One Championship official website 스포츠토토 has selected “five games to watch in the historic American competition besides Johnson-Morais.” The sixth defense of mixed martial arts atomweight champion Angela Lee (Korean name Lee Seung-ju · 26 · USA / Canada) against her official ranking No. 2 Ham Seo-hee was mentioned as the fourth.
ONE on Prime Video 10 adjusts the schedule so that major games can be watched live on the global OTT service ‘Amazon Prime Video’ from 8:00 pm on May 5 next year in New York, USA. One Championship’s official website explained the need for Angela Lee and Ham Seo-hee, saying, “To make a great debut in the United States, not only Johnson-Morais, but also other interesting match-ups must be presented.”
Ham Seo-hee is a world class ranked first in the world in the mixed martial arts atom class by the third quarter of 2021. In the One Championship, he won two consecutive victories over Dennis Zamboanga (25, Philippines), who is third in the rankings, and was recognized for his qualification to participate in the title match.
When discussing the history of women’s mixed martial arts, it is a living legend that must be included in the top 30 no matter how underestimated it is. According to the ranking system ‘Fight Matrix’, even now in her mid-30s, she is the world’s 6th strongest female fighter across all weight classes (P4P).
Ham Seo-hee conquered the Japanese mixed martial arts stage by climbing to the top of DEEP Jewels in 2013-2014 and Raijin in 2019. She is aiming to win the three overseas group Atomweight titles through the One Championship.
Angela Lee was born to a Chinese-Singaporean father and a Korean mother. She is also a leading star in women’s mixed martial arts, having held the top spot in the Atom class since May 2016 at the She One Championship, also based in Singapore.
In addition to mixed martial arts, One Championship also runs kickboxing, Muay Thai, and submission grappling championships. Angela Lee’s six victories in title fights are tied for fifth overall, and her fifth defense of the title ranks fourth alone.
One Championship’s official website said, “Ham Seo-hee is a long-time star in the mixed martial arts atomweight class who has caught two rabbits with an interesting fighting style and performance. She said Angela Lee and her title fight would be an ideal fight that would give American audiences an unforgettable, war-like fight.”
