The Stamp Dance Will Return at ONE X
Since making her debut in ONE Championship, Fairtex has always carried a love for dancing with her.
During her recent interview with SCMP MMA the Thai-born fighter ensured fans that the famous dance will return on March 26 at ONE X. Through a translator, she said:
"Yes of course! … I was born in One Championship with the Stamp dance… Definitely, yes. One of the biggest fights in my career, I will have a Stamp dance for sure. But as of now I have no idea what song I would pick because I want this moment to be remarkable for everyone around the world."
Fairtex began martial arts as a striker. She won championship titles in ONE Championship in the Muay Thai and Kickboxing divisions before she was even 23 years old. In 2021 she switched to MMA and won the ONE Women's Atomweight Grand Prix with a submission armbar in the final.
She will now face long-time Atomweight champion, Angela Lee, at ONE X on March 26.
