ONE X: Angela Lee knew she’d eventually face ‘strong contender’ Stamp Fairtex

Angela Lee wasn’t surprised to see Stamp Fairtex emerge as her next title challenger.

Fairtex (8-1) defeated Alyona Rassohyna, Julie Mezabarba and Ritu Phogat to win the ONE atomweight world grand prix and earned her shot at reigning champ Lee (10-2) in Saturday’s ONE X main event, which takes place in Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.

“I thought she would be a strong contender in the grand prix tournament,” Lee told MMA Junkie Radio. “And obviously I followed her journey in the tournament and she did super well and she ended up winning so it was just a matter of time and I was super excited to know who my opponent was, and I just wanted to know when it was gonna go down.”
