(James Goyder is the owner/editor of AsianMMA.com ) The fight between Seo Hee Ham and Itsuki Hirata has been in the works for some time with the original bout postponed after the Japanese fighter missed weight. They finally got to face off at ONE Fight Night 8 with the Korean veteran claiming a comfortable decision win. Ham is rated by many as the best atomweight in the world after winning titles with both Road FC and Rizin before signing with ONE Championship. She was looking to make it three wins in a row for the promotion at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday morning (local time) and did so with relative ease. It was clear from the outset that the Korean southpaw would look to find a home for the left hand but Hirata kept backing away in order to stay out of range. This brought a warning from the referee with the Japanese fighter showing no interest whatsoever in engaging in a striking battle.
