Fans voting on the semi-finals and if she’d prefer a more clearly defined tournament bracket
“I think it’s quite good because it’s for the opinion from ONE Championship. Fans can vote and to see that preference in the fight matchups.”
The meaningful period in the second round where Stamp fought without a mouthpiece
“Well to be honest, if I say it about myself for this fight for a second-round I feel like, overall I would say like I did not so good, as I planned. And because of previously, I was injured in the fight as well. Even how I trained a lot on Muay Thai and BJJ, but I still concern on my injury before the fight. So I did not so well.”
