Intense staredowns took centerstage during the ceremonial weigh-ins as the 40 participants scheduled to compete at ONE X on Saturday, March 26 took one final look at what’s ahead of them with less than 24 hours to go before the promotion’s 10th-anniversary extravaganza.

The attention was pinned on the two highly-anticipated matches in the 20-bout lineup as Angela Lee defends her ONE women’s atomweight championship for the fifth time against Thai challenger Stamp Fairtex. Meanwhile, former UFC flyweight titleholder Demetrious Johnson figures in a showdown under a hybrid mixed martial arts-Muay Thai rules versus the hard-hitting Rodtang Jitmuangnon.

Lee received her clearance to compete by checking at 114 pounds. On the other hand, Stamp tipped the scales at the same weight.

Four other world title fights are slated to happen at the aforementioned live event—with Adriano Moraes’ (134lbs) defense of his flyweight title against Japanese knockout artist Yuya Wakamatsu (135lbs) taking place on the main card.

It is also worth noting that Denice Zamboanga and Seo Hee Ham did not attend the pre-fight event due to the latter failing the hydration test and missed weight altogether.

ONE X, which will broadcast live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium this Saturday, is divided into three segments.
