Find out who fans picked to win the main and co-main event of ONE X
ONE Championship asked fans to vote on who they think will win the headlining bouts of ONE X, and they have spoken.
On Instagram, ONE Championship posted the results of its poll and revealed that Thailand could be the big winner by the end of the night.
The caption reads:
"Based on the votes from our fans on Instagram, Saturday could be a very good night for Thailand 🇹🇠What do you think? @rodtang_jimungnon @mighty @angelaleemma @stamp_fairtex"
The results show that 60 percent of the fans believe that Rodtang Jitmuangnon will be the victor in the special-rules superfight with Demetrious Johnson. The bout will feature two rounds each of MMA and Muay Thai. While fans didn’t pick which round the fight will end, chances are that they believe Rodtang’s Muay Thai will be the determining factor in the match.
The main event votes are a bit closer, as 54 percent of the fans chose Stamp Fairtex to win over Angela Lee and be crowned the new ONE women’s atomweight world champion. Lee has been away from action since she became a mother, while Stamp has competed in seven bouts since the champion's last appearance. The uncertainty of Lee’s form and the activity of Stamp looks to have been a point of consideration for fans, but it’s still too close to call.
