Stamp Fairtex reveals ONE Championship came to her with idea of mixed-rules fight months ago

Stamp Fairtex asked for the opportunity to compete in a mixed-rules bout and she will get exactly that this Friday night.

ONE Fight Night 6 on Prime Video will play host to the first-ever women’s mixed rules superfight pitting former two-sport world champion Stamp Fairtex against seven-time world champion Anissa Meksen.

In an interview with ONE Championship ahead of the highly-anticipated showdown, Stamp revealed that she had asked to compete in a mixed-rules match back at ONE X, the night the promotion debuted the unique concept:

“The day I fought with Angela Lee was the same day Rodtang fought with Demetrious. Chatri [Sityodtong, ONE Chairman and CEO], came to talk with me, and I told him that I was willing to take part in this kind of special fight. What I asked for came true. This is a new challenge for me, and it will push me to the limit.”

At ONE’s 10th-anniversary spectacular in March, reigning flyweight champions Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Demetrious Johnson made history in the first bout that blended the rules of Muay Thai and MMA. Stamp and Meksen will make their own history as the first women to do it and you can see it all on Amazon Prime Video.

Airing in U.S. primetime, ONE Fight Night 6 is live and free to North Americans with an active subscription to the popular streaming service.

Stamp Fairtex shares her unique and gag-inducing fight camp diet

Virtually everyone has seen Rocky Balboa down a few raw eggs in preparation for his showdown with Apollo Creed in the Academy Award-winning film ‘Rocky.’ Stamp Fairtex did Rock one better, downing an entire cup of raw eggs as part of her preparation for a showdown with Muay Thai specialist Anissa Meksen.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Stamp revealed the reason she sticks to the raw egg diet during her training camp:

"Normally the meal would be semi-boiled eggs. But with raw eggs, it really helps with the joints and tendons, and recovery. And helps you with power. This is what the doctor, who helps me with strength and conditioning, its the advice from them to take in some raw eggs."

After consuming so many raw eggs, Stamp Fairtex has developed a taste for the jelly-like substance but says that not all eggs are equal when it comes to their flavor profile:

"I think it's like jelly for the white eggs. But for the red eggs, it's pretty delicious taste to it. So maybe I got used to it, which is why I think it's delicious."
