“Although [I expected] my next opponent to be Angela Lee, my main intention was to have a match, so it didn’t matter to me that my next opponent was Itsuki or someone else,” the Team Mad athlete stated.
Ham Seo Hee intends to get back to action and chase her dream
“Getting that ONE Championship World Title is really such a dream for me. But while I was taking a break, Angela Lee was participating in matches. So, I can’t just sit still and watch, while she continues to take on opponents.“
The #2-ranked contender is brimming with confidence after earning two wins over Denice “Lycan Queen” Zamboanga, and she sees her upcoming bout as a perfect excuse to fix her flaws and make her arsenal even more threatening.
After all, Hirata’s resilient grappling skills should offer Ham a worthy challenge and give her more game time to prepare for a five-round battle with Lee. “I don’t want to fall short of that Circle experience. I want to make sure I’m doing my best to get those wins and do what I love, get that action, and train for it,” Ham said.
“To me, of course, being a titleholder in ONE Championship is of great importance. But participating in a match is equally important to me. So even though many people tell me that there is more to lose in this match, that’s not how I perceive it.”
