Stamp Fairtex was thrilled to see her teammate, Smilla Sundell, walk away with another big win at ONE Fight Night 22 on Prime Video. Eight months removed from her spectacular third-round KO of Allycia Hellen Rodrigues at ONE Fight Night 14, 'The Hurricane' put her 'O' on the line against Russian knockout artist Natalia Diachkova inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
After an impressive opening round from the 'Karelian Lynx,' it was Sundell's turn to turn up the heat, delivering a beautiful barrage of strikes that had teammate and friend Stamp Fairtex jumping out of her front-row seat.
