There’s no denying that Stamp Fairtex took her already remarkable career to new heights when she defeated Ham Seo Hee at ONE Fight Night 14 in September 2023.

In a stunning display, Stamp captured the ONE women’s atomweight MMA world championship, which was vacated by Angela Lee minutes before the Thai heroine made her walk to the Circle for the bout against Ham.

The affair began with a tactical first round, where both fighters carefully gauged each other’s strengths. But in the second round, Stamp turned up the heat, landing a series of significant strikes.

Showing great bravery, Ham chose to engage with the Thai superstar and eventually floored her with a straight left hand. Despite the knockdown, Stamp quickly regained control and nearly finished her South Korean opponent with a deep armbar before the round concluded.

In the third frame, Stamp sealed her victory with a powerful punch to Ham’s midsection, dropping her to her knees. She followed up with a flurry of punches, forcing the referee to step in and stop the fight.

In front of a raucous crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, this victory solidified Stamp’s legacy as the first-ever three-sport ONE world champion.

However, that triumph marked her last appearance in the cage, as she suffered an injury that kept her out of action throughout 2024.


Stamp Fairtex may return to action in 2025

Now, after months of recovery, Stamp Fairtex is showing promising signs of progress.

The 27-year-old was recently spotted training at the Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, Thailand, working on her mitt and donut pad drills.

Stamp’s injury occurred during a sparring session ahead of her scheduled world title defense against Denice Zamboanga at ONE 167 last year.

The tear in her meniscus required surgery, which prevented her from competing. Zamboanga went on to face Noelle Grandjean on the aforementioned fight card, winning by unanimous decision to keep her spot as the division’s top contender.

Since going under the knife in May, Stamp has been focused on rehabilitation, diligently working to strengthen her knee.

While there's no official timeline for her return, her recent training strides suggest that she could make her comeback in 2025.
