SUMMARY
- Stamp Fairtex will fight Denice Zamboanga at ONE 167.
- Ahead of the event on June 7, ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong has a bold prediction for the fight.
The hype is building around next month’s ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga on Prime Video event, and ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong believes that the blockbuster show will deliver the goods.
Taking place at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, the June 7 fight card is headlined by the ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Title showdown between friends and former training partners Stamp Fairtex and Denice Zamboanga.

Stamp is one of the biggest stars in MMA today. The Thai superstar made history last year when she claimed the atomweight MMA strap. Her victory over Ham Seo Hee cemented her status as the first athlete in history to win World Titles across three fighting disciplines.
But her friendship with #2-ranked contender Zamboanga, owing to their time spent training together at Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, Thailand, adds an interesting wrinkle to the fight. The friends-turned-foes sit atop a stacked card, leaving the ONE Chairman and CEO bullish about it being one of the most memorable events of the year.
Chatri Sityodtong promises fireworks at ONE 167
Chatri Sityodtong promised that the whole ONE 167 fight card will be worth the price of admission. ONE Championship prides itself on its 70 percent finish rate across its multi-discipline fight cards, which ranks much higher than rival promotions that sit around 40 percent.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA, Sityodtong predicted that the trend will continue with few, if any, fights at ONE 167 making it to the final bell.

“It’s going to be a beautiful night of crazy, violent martial arts at the highest level in the world. I guarantee tons of KOs and finishes to an entire sold-out arena, the Impact Arena,” he said.
In the June 7 co-main event, ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai puts his belt on the line in a highly anticipated rematch with fellow-Thai “Smokin” Jo Nattawut.
Global megastar Rodtang Jitmuangnon will also feature. The ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion faces Bosnian-Canadian knockout artist Denis Puric in a non-title flyweight kickboxing tilt.
