Atomweight MMA queen Stamp Fairtex says she’s at “around 60 percent” in her recovery following meniscus tear

Reigning ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex of Thailand is getting close to making a full recovery from a harrowing injury that kept her sidelined for the entirety of 2024.

Stamp suffered a torn meniscus last year and immediately had surgery. The recovery process has been difficult, to say the least, with Stamp having to relearn how to walk at one point.

But now, the 26-year-old star Thai says she is close to getting back to hard training.

Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post, Stamp gave an update on her recovery.

The Fairtex Training Center representative told her fans:

"Everything is getting better. My knee is getting better, maybe around 60 percent or something like that."

Stamp won the atomweight gold in a September 2023 victory over South Korean veteran Ham Seo Hee. She was scheduled to defend that gold in 2024 and even challenge for the strawweight MMA throne against Chinese star 'The Panda' Xiong Jingnan before she fell to injury.
