If there was one bout at ONE Fight Night 27 last Friday, January 10, that sent Stamp Fairtex on an emotional rollercoaster, it was the electrifying clash between Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai and John Lineker.

Seated in the front row of the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Stamp’s raw reactions to the intense matchup were captured and shared by ONE Championship in a ringside clip:

It’s easy to see why Stamp experienced such a whirlwind of emotions during the grueling three-round showdown.

Despite the odds, Kulabdam managed to hand Lineker — a former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion — his first defeat in professional Muay Thai.

Their 150.75-pound catchweight contest was a non-stop thrill ride from the opening bell. The Brazilian veteran unleashed brutal punching combinations early, flooring Kulabdam with a sharp left hand.

Kulabdam, however, weathered the onslaught and turned the tide in the final two rounds. With relentless forward pressure, punishing body shots, and precise boxing, he claimed control of the bout.

After nine minutes of intense action, the judges awarded the victory to ‘Left Meteorite,’ pushing his professional record to an impressive 73-20.


Stamp Fairtex congratulates Denice Zamboanga at ONE Fight Night 27

While Stamp Fairtex clearly enjoyed the spectacle, her focus wasn’t solely on Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai vs. John Lineker.

The reigning ONE women’s atomweight MMA world champion was closely monitoring the duel event between Denice Zamboanga and Alyona Rassohyna for the interim divisional crown.

Still recovering from a knee injury, Stamp had a vested interest in the outcome.

Zamboanga emerged victorious, delivering a TKO win over Rassohyna in the second round. After the fight, Stamp entered the ring to congratulate her friend and former teammate.

With Zamboanga now holding the interim title, a unification bout with Stamp is likely later this year, provided the Thai superstar receives medical clearance to compete.

Despite their close friendship, Stamp embraces the challenge as part of her duties as a champion.

She said this during the post-fight interview:

"I’m so excited to meet her in the ring. For sure, I’m ready to fight my friend. It’s okay.”
