Thai superstar Stamp Fairtex made history in September 2023 when she defeated South Korean powerhouse Ham Seo Hee in the main event of ONE Fight Night 14 in front of the packed Singapore Indoor Stadium and captured the ONE atomweight MMA world title.

Stamp stopped Ham with a third-round TKO finish, and the world's largest martial arts organization reposted the highlights of the match on their Instagram account, and they wrote its caption with:

"HISTORY-MAKER 😍 Stamp became the first three-sport ONE World Champion in history with this performance against Ham Seo Hee! 🙌 @stamp_fairtex"

The former ONE atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion did not have an easy victory, as 'Hamzzang' tagged her multiple times with powerful punches, especially in the early stages of the fight.

But the Fairtex Training Center representative showed her championship poise and never-say-die attitude as she eventually landed a picture-perfect kick to Ham's body that folded her instantly.

From there, Stamp rained down more strikes with the ground and pound to force referee Olivier Coste to call the stoppage and award him the victory.

With the win, Stamp became the first athlete in ONE Championship history to become a three-sport world champion. It was her 14th victory under the promotion.


Stamp reflects on herself after successful surgery in torn meniscus

After she won the 26-pound golden belt, Stamp was supposed to defend it against Filipina contender Denice Zamboaga, but she unfortunately suffered an injury in training that forced her out of action for an extended period.

During this time, she was able to reflect on different things, especially in using her time more efficiently, as she shared in a recent video that the Fairtex Training Center YouTube channel published, where she stated:

"I learned a lot because when I'm alone and everything is quiet, I have a lot of thinking. Like, why am I wasting so much time? Why I don't keep track of time? Like, when I have time, why I'm not paying attention, why I'm not focused, why I lost the time, like, I don't have money. I should focus more than before. Because I feel like now, I'm wasting time a lot after surgery."
