Ham Seo Hee finds herself on the cusp of mixed martial arts greatness. After collecting three promotional victories in as many outings, "Hamzzang" is just one win away from clutching gold.

The #2-ranked atomweight meets top-ranked Stamp Fairtex in the main event of ONE Fight Night 14 on Saturday, September 30. On that night, the ONE Interim Atomweight World Title is up for grabs inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Ham's dominance since arriving in ONE has been nothing short of outstanding. The South Korean has rocketed up the ranks with every victory. And it all began with her debut against Denice Zamboanga.

Ham clashed with Zamboanga in the ONE Atomweight World Grand Prix quarterfinals in September 2021 at ONE: EMPOWER. The bout had all the elements of a student-versus-the-master encounter in combat sports.

Ham surpassed the inaugural challenge despite the Filipino talent throwing everything she had at the Team MAD product. And, after the final bell sounded, Ham narrowly took home the split-decision victory.

The pair's journey didn't stop there, though. Given their closely contested first encounter, Ham and Zamboanga battled again in March 2022 at ONE X. This time, "Hamzzang's" experience and instincts made the difference.

The Busan bruiser utilized what she learned in their first go-around to dominate the youthful Filipino over three rounds. When it was all said and done, she left with the unanimous decision win in tow.

But wherever Ham goes, there always seems to be another hungry challenger ready to make a name off her status. The latest to try this was Itsuki "Android 8" Hirata.

The Japanese talent was becoming a force in the division. And if she was able to topple her biggest name yet in ONE, a World Title opportunity wouldn't have been far off.

The rivalry began to brew when Hirata missed weight at ONE on Prime Video 5 last December. Because of that, the contest was nixed from the card. The atomweights were still eager to fight. So, the bout was rescheduled for March at ONE Fight Night 8.

Ham's dominance was nothing short of spectacular on that day. The South Korean made her mark on Hirata from start to finish, winning by unanimous decision. She made it clear that she was ready for a shot at the World Title.

The prolific moment took her to 3-0 in ONE and extended her overall winning streak to nine in a row. Now she meets Stamp in September. Against the Thai megastar, Ham has the chance to capture the ONE Interim Atomweight MMA World Title and prove she belongs with the division's elite.
