Denis is a nine-fight ONE veteran, winning seven of her last four bouts. Her most recent performance came at ONE Fight Night 27 earlier this month, where she defeated Ukrainian Alyona Rassohina by second-round TKO to capture the ONE Interim MMA Atomweight World Championship.

Originally, Denise was scheduled to fight for the throne against Stamp Fairtex, the Thai world champion. However, Stamp was injured and not ready to defend the title, so she decided to vacate the belt, paving the way for Denise to step up and become a full-fledged new queen. This fight is considered her first mission as a world champion, and of course, she intends to defend this belt for as long as possible.

Ayaka is a veteran of 13 fights in ONE, winning nine times and having previously challenged for the ONE Strawweight (115-125 lbs) World Championship, but lost a unanimous decision to reigning world champion Xiong Jing Nan in January 2022 before deciding to move down a division to pursue the belt at atomweight.

doohee She has won all five of her last five fights, four of which were by submission. The most recent was her submission of Juliana Otalora at ONE Lumpinee 116 on Friday, July 18, securing a shot at the world title in her next fight in front of her hometown fans. This is a long-awaited opportunity to achieve her ultimate goal of becoming a ONE World Champion. ( doohee )
