In the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix Championship MMA Final on December 3, former India wrestler Ritu Phogat will face kickboxing world champion Stamp Fairtex, who is also a former Muay Thai world champion.
Phogat, who is now ranked fourth, said she is training thoroughly for her next match in the 48kg division at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
“India has never had a female MMA champion in the past and now I have the power to change the narrative and place an Indian woman on the global MMA stage. I will try my best to make India proud,” said Phogat in a release.
Muay Thai, often known as the “art of eight limbs,” is a Thai martial art that originated in Thailand.
“I’ve been focused on the finals for a very long time and I’ve trained for countless hours for the past two years.”
Fairtex, her opponent, is widely regarded as the atomweight division’s most deadly striker. Phogat, 27, believes that her wrestling background will give her an advantage over her Thai opponent.
“Stamp is definitely a formidable opponent but she doesn’t have the kind of wrestling experience and background that I have built over the last seven years. I am certain that my superior wrestling background will give me an edge,” she said
“Also, I’ve been training extensively and pushing through my wins and my losses, and I plan to make 3rd December an extraordinary match in MMA history. My improved striking capability and game plan will be on display for everyone to see inside the circle.”
