Stamp Fairtex out of ONE Championship fight in June after knee injury 80% of her meniscus is torn off

ONE Championship atomweight champion Stamp Fairtex has been forced out of her upcoming fight in June due to a knee injury.

Stamp Fairtex was set to face Denice Zamboanga on June 7, and she was also scheduled to fight strawweight champion Xiong Jingnan on Sept. 6 in Denver, Colorado in a potential champ vs. champ fight. But, due to the injury, those fights are now off which is disappointing news for Chatri Sityodtong.

Stamp Fairtex

“It’s a sad thing. One of her final sparring sessions prepping for the big event in a couple of weeks, she blew out her knee. 80 percent of her meniscus was torn off her knee, and it was on a nasty takedown where her leg got caught. Her knee buckled. She just went for surgery, very successful surgery [on Sunday].”

Sityodtong said to MMAFighting

Stamp Fairtex Recovery Hopes

Sityodtong says there is no timeframe for Stamp Fairtex to return, but the hope is to return in six months, but ONE’s CEO isn’t going to rush Stamp.

“I’ve talked to the Fairtex team, looks like it’s going to be six months but I really don’t know,” Sityodtong said. “I haven’t talked to the doctor. Let’s see what happens. It’s kind of sad but at the same time Atlanta is six months away so who knows. Stamp is a super athlete. You never know.”

Stamp Fairtex was coming off a TKO win over Ham Seo-hee in September to win the vacant atomweight champion. Fairtex is 11-2 in MMA and holds notable wins over Alyona Rassohyna, Ritu Phogat, and Alsye Anderson among others.

Chatri Sityodtong says Denver card will be ‘stacked’

ONE Championship will be returning to the United States in Denver, Colorado on September 6 and Atlanta, Georgia on November 8.

Despite losing Stamp Fairtex, Sityodtong says the Denver card will still be stacked as he’s confident it will be a stellar card for MMA fans, that will be a sellout.

“These things happen,” Sityodtong said. “The most important thing right now is for Stamp to rest and recover and rehab her knee so she’s back and hopefully she’s back in several months even potentially for our Atlanta show and there’s more shows in the states for next year. So I’m pretty relaxed about that from a timing perspective and plus we have such a stacked card.

Stamp Fairtex

“We haven’t even announced our card, but we have such a stacked card for Denver, 100 percent the event is going to sell out. With zero marketing, we’re more than half sold out, which is mind bogging to me. It’s a 20,000-seat arena where the world champion Denver Nuggets play. It’s a full blown NBA stadium. We’ve done zero marketing, All we’ve done is announce that we’re coming and put a ticket link up and a couple of fights and it’s more than half sold out already. So I think four months to go, we’ll probably sell out with several weeks to go just like we did for our last Denver event. We’re very excited.”

ONE Championship made its US debut last year.

Prior to the ONE Fight Night 14 main event between Stamp Fairtex and Ham Seo Hee, reigning atomweight queen Angela Lee announced her retirement from mixed martial arts, turning the evening’s headliner into a battle for the now-vacant ONE atomweight world championship.

The first round was the definition of a feeling-out round with both women not offering much in the way of offense, but the action began to pick up in the second with Stamp beginning to target the body of Ham with a series of kicks. With two minutes to go in the round, Stamp begins to unload an onslaught of kicks, but Ham strikes back with a straight left that sits Stamp down. Ham moves in and secures the top position. Stamp stays busy off her back and locks in an arm bar, but Ham is ultimately saved by the second round bell.

Ham Seo Hee comes out aggressive in the third, pressing Stamp to the fence, but the Thai sensation is able to separate and circle away before unleashing a hellish right hand straight to the body that folded Ham. Sensing the end, Stamp moves in and delivers an onslaught of strikes that puts Ham on the canvas, forcing the referee to step in and call for the stoppage.

Official Result: Stamp Fairtex def. Ham Seo Hee via TKO (strikes) at 1:04 of Round 3 to become the undisputed ONE atomweight world champion.

Thai fan-favorite Stamp Fairtex returned to the ONE Circle on Friday night at ONE Fight Night 10 for a high-stakes atomweight clash with budding contender Alyse ‘Lil Savage’ Anderson. Riding the moment of back-to-back wins against Jihin Radzuan and Anna ‘Supergirl’ Jaroonsak, Stamp finds herself on the cusp of a ONE world title opportunity, but Anderson had her sights set on scoring an upset and sliding into the top spot on the atomweight rankings.

Alyse Anderson came out looking very light on her feet in the early going, but it was Stamp Fairtex’s elite striking that was the highlight of the opening round. Anderson did her best to get the fight to the ground where she could potentially dominate, but Stamp was able to defend well and kept things on the feet where she runs the show.

In the second round, Anderson once again attempted to close the distance and work the Thai superstar to the ground. Breaking away from Anderson in a clinch against the fence, Stamp threw a perfectly placed liver kick that immediately folded Anderson, forcing the referee to step in and call for the stoppage.

Official Result: Stamp Fairtex def. Alyse Anderson via KO (body kick) at  2:27 of Round 2

Stamp Fairtex ONE Fight Night 6

ONE Championship superstar Stamp Fairtex has had a whirlwind of a week leading up to her fight at ONE Fight Night 6. She was originally booked against former GLORY World Champion Anissa Meksen, but reportedly due to an illness the French-Algerian fighter did not show up for the press conference or weigh-ins.

‘Supergirl’ Anna Jaroonsak was set to face Ekaterina Vandaryeva, but the Belarusian ‘Barbie’ just slightly missed weight. Due to these sudden events, ONE Championship was able to book Supergirl against Stamp Fairtex in a kickboxing fight at the last minute.

The Thai-born Stamp was able to out-point Supergirl in a closely fought match. Supergirl is a Muay Thai based fighter with a size and weight advantage over her Thai-born opponent. See below for highlights:

Stamp Fairtex earns a split decision win at ONE Fight Night 6

Stamp Fairtex is a threat in three sports. Before she was even 23 years old, she captured world titles in ONE Championship in both Kickboxing and Muay Thai. As she switched her focus to MMA, she was able to earn a Grand Prix world title by way of submission in the finals. This would earn her the top contender position against atomweight queen Angela Lee. Despite the back-and-forth fight, Stamp was stopped via submission in her world title attempt.

Earning ONE gold in MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai is still very much in the plans for Stamp. While in an interview with Tim Wheaton, she mapped out her future plans. She said:

“In five years I think I’d still be around. Hopefully, I’ll be having three of my titles, and also I’ll be defending the titles. And also in 10 years, I would be 35 so two ways – either I’ll be a trainer in another country, or I’ll just do some gardening and not really be into martial arts.”

Thailand’s Stamp Fairtex may only be four fights deep into her ONE Championship career, but the 22-year-old is already shaping up to be one of the promotions future stars.

The Rayong native, who currently trains out of the famed Fairtex Gym, already holds the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Championships and has now set her sights on adding Angela Lee’s atomweight MMA crown to her collection.

After an impressive submission win over ONE debutante Asha Roka back in August, Stamp has been assigned a more difficult task for her second mixed martial arts outing under the ONE banner.

This Friday at ONE: Masters Of Fate, in Manila, Philippines, Stamp will face off against Bi “Killer Bee” Nguyen. The Vietnamese- American will be a far savvier adversary for Stamp than Roka, and this bout should be an indicator of were the Thai sits in the atomweight division.

“She seems strong and really aggressive. Her striking is okay; she has speed and power, especially with her hook. But I think my standup is better and more diverse, and I plan to show that when we fight,” Stamp said to LowKick MMA when speaking about Nguyen.

“I feel pressure because people expect a lot from me. I also don’t want to let my team and all my fans down. A lot of people support me, and I’m grateful,” she added.

Stamp has been somewhat of a trailblazer for women’s Muay Thai in Thailand. She took up the sport at age five and soon started making waves on the local scene. Two years ago, she made history by becoming the first female fighter accepted to the Fairtex Fight team.

“At first, it was a little surprising for me, training with all men at Fairtex. I was the only woman there. But now that has changed, and there are more girls. I am very happy.

“There’s another girl on my team who recently started to compete in both Muay Thai and MMA. She’s called ‘Wonder Girl.’ I wish to see more girls compete like this in the future.”

Stamp has won over fans by both her abilities as a fighter but also her affable persona outside of the arena. ONE encourages their athletes to express their individuality during their walks to the ONE circle, and it could be argued that Stamp’s entrances are almost as anticipated as her fights.

The Thai has become known for dancing her way down the runway as though she were heading to a rave as opposed to a fight.

“Dancing has always been in my heart. Whenever I listen to music, instantly start moving to the beat. I don’t really practice the Stamp Dance; I go by heart.”

While Stamp is enjoying the fruits of her success, she never visualized herself, carving a career in the Combat Sports world despite her obvious ability as a child.

“When I was younger, I just focused on being an amateur fighter while I pursued my studies so I could get a good job. But now that I’ve experienced some level of success as a professional athlete, I think I’ll be fighting for many years to come.”

Stamp is still developing as an athlete and is likely years away from reaching her full potential. However, this Friday, she will get the opportunity to get one step closer to claiming another world title for her mantelpiece.

Stamp Fairtex showed that she has a legitimate shot at becoming a three-sport champion.

Taking on undefeated Indian fighter Asha Roka at ONE: Dreams of Gold on Friday night, the former Muay Thai and kickboxing champion displayed her striking skills as many expected.

However, Fairtex also displayed her skills on the ground and didn’t seem uncomfortable at all. In the end, she was able to get the rear-naked choke submission locked in to get a third-round victory. She now moves to 2-0.

You can watch the finish below:

Fairtex notably made her mixed martial arts (MMA) debut in July last year when she defeated Rashi Shinde via head kick KO. It will be interesting to see who she is paired up with next as she has been impressive so far into her MMA career.

What did you think about Fairtex’s dominant victory over Roka?
