Stamp Fairtex Promises a Comeback and Reveals Her Return Plans

Stamp Fairtex Injured

The reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Champion Stamp Fairtex suffered a significant knee injury that forced her to withdraw from her scheduled title defense at ONE 167. the partner tried to lift and twist Stamp, but her leg remained on the ground, causing her knee to twist unnaturally and would later require surgery.

On this injury, Stamp explained in a recent interview:

“I was training with my friend, my partner, and we were sparring. She locked me to take my back, and she wanted to lift me. She’s stronger than me, so when she lifted me, my face was still in the car. When she twisted, my knee twisted too, and it got hurt.

“After surgery, it was really, really bad. Like, why? Why did I get hurt? Why did I have to have surgery? I hadn’t fought for a long time—already one year. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t do the same things as before. Everything felt bad for me.”

Now the Thai-born athlete is in recovery, Stamp added that she misses training. She continued:

“My recovery is going so much better. Now I feel like maybe 65 or 70 percent. I think by December, I can train at 100 percent, or something like that. I’m not back to training 100 percent yet. I’m only doing PT to build the muscle in my knee. That’s it.

“When I see everyone fight, when I see everyone training, I feel like I’m hungry to train again. I’m hungry to fight again. It’s so boring when I’m at my hometown.

“After surgery, I felt like I lost a year. It’s already almost 500 days, and I feel like everything went backward. I lost my skill, I lost my focus. Now, I know I have to build my muscle, focus again, and pay attention when I come back to training. Everyone wants my belt. My opponents are training and improving their skills, but I feel stuck. When I come back, I have to focus, learn more, and update my skills.”

Stamp Fairtex Comeback

Being unable to train in the gym, Stamp Fairtex went home to stay with her parents and help on their farm. She began her Muay Thai career when she was still a child as a way to help bring in more money for her family. Now, she has become a star in combat sports having collected gold in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and, most recently, MMA.

On staying at home, she said:

“I just sleep, don’t do anything. I walk to the Douyin farm, come back, sleep, eat, play on my phone. I really, really miss training, Muay Thai, and MMA. I miss everyone because usually I talk a lot with everyone. But when I’m back home, no one talks to me. I’m really quiet. I talk to my dog, Oli.”

For her next fight in ONE Championship, Stamp Fairtex says that after her knee recovery and hitting the gym, she will be ready to go in April or May 2025. She added:

“Maybe May or April … I feel like I’m falling behind while everyone else is improving their skills, power, and muscle … It’s been one year, and no one has seen me training on social media—just dancing or something. I’m still the same, still funny, but I promise I’m going to come back. I’m 27, and I don’t know how long I’ll fight.

“Now is my time to shine and show everyone who I am. I’ll be back.”

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.”

Chatri

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.”
