Former ONE women’s atomweight MMA world champion Angela Lee reflected on her legacy-defining win against Stamp Fairtex.
In March 2022, Stamp earned the opportunity to face Lee for the women’s atomweight MMA world title at ONE X. The Thai superstar found success early before ‘Unstoppable’ turned the tide and became the new atomweight queen with a second-round submission.
The women’s MMA legend recently reflected on her historic win against Stamp by saying this during an appearance on the Practice Brave Podcast:
“I was able to get her to the ground, and I finished the fight with a rear-naked choke. It was just incredible. Just the way that the fight went out too like dealing with that adversity and then coming back and getting the finish.”
