There can be a release of energy without oxygen, but it will not result in a fire, just an explosion. You can make arguments for things like the sun “burning” in the vacuum of space, but that is fusion, and a far different thing than lighting a match.
It blows my mind, really. My own intuitive understanding of gravity just doesn’t extend to that kind of reality (he says with a broken collar bone due to essentially ‘too much gravity’)

Fair and as for the sun I’ve always seen it as more of just a constant nuclear explosion.
Gravity powered fusion bomb
That never makes sense to me!
