Alyse “Lil’ Savage” Anderson is planning to jump the queue for a coveted shot at the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Title. The 28-year-old standout mixed martial artist is now in the final days of her camp for her much-anticipated showdown with #1-ranked atomweight contender Stamp Fairtex, set to go down on May 5 at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video – the organization’s historic debut on U.S. soil. 

When she makes the walk to the Circle at 1stBank Center in Denver, Colorado, Anderson knows she’s heading toward the biggest opportunity of her seven-fight professional career.

Her opponent that night, Stamp, is one of the biggest combat sports stars in the world. A former ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion, as well as a ONE Women’s Atomweight Grand Prix World Champion, the Thai athlete is one of the planet’s top pound-for-pound fighters.

 Despite those accolades, the American sees a weakness in Stamp’s ground game. And after scoring a sensational submission in her last outing, Anderson is brimming with confidence and plans to exploit her foe’s grappling deficiencies.

 She predicted, “I definitely see myself getting the submission. I can’t give you a round, but I’ll just say through a submission. No matter how she gets it done, “Lil’ Savage” is sure that a victory over Stamp would rocket her to the top of the atomweight division’s pecking order.”

A win, she says, should land her in the top five and knocking on the door of a shot at 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold, “I feel like that [a win over Stamp] should put me in line for a title contention because I don’t see myself after this fight fighting unranked opponents.”

 Well aware of her opponent’s dangerous skillset and global fame, Anderson welcomes the challenge, happy to prove the doubters wrong and establish herself among the atomweight elite.

“I just know that I’m going [in the right direction]. People are just underestimating me. So this fight is just a great fight. Showing why ONE signed me and why I’m in this division because I think I still need to prove myself.”
