In the clip, she shows how to circle away from an opponent's kick and land a sharp elbow. Her training partner then tumbles dramatically to the ground. Stamp used a very similar strike to the hard elbow to score a knockdown against the top-ranked 'Shadow Cat' Jihin Radzuan in her most recent fight.
See below for a slow-motion replay of the elbow:
The 24-year-old Stamp is just wrapping up a seminar tour of the USA. She has traveled across the nation teaching many fighters Muay Thai techniques, most likely including her expert elbow strike.
Stamp Fairtex's next fight at ONE on Prime Video 6
In a special rules super fight, Stamp will face the decorated and dangerous 'C18' Anissa Meksen. The fight is booked for January 2023 at ONE on Prime Video 6.
The French-Algerian Meksen is a risky fight to take. She has held world titles in every organization she has competed in and is currently unbeaten in ONE Championship. Meksen is coming off a win against Dangkongfah Banchamek. However, Stamp is not impressed. In an interview with SCMP MMA, she said:
"I think Dangkongfah is a good athlete, but the advantage that Anissa had over her is that Dangkongfah is quite smaller than her, and this is the first time Dangkongfah fought [on the global stage]. Maybe Dangkongfah got a little bit nervous and excited to fight in ONE. Anissa has good punches, that is all."

Stamp Fairtex is coming off of an exceptional victory against 'Shadow Cat'. However, Meksen is not impressed with the work from Stamp. In her post-fight interview, Meksen said:
“She’s [Stamp Fairtex] a dancer, I’m a real fighter... I trained MMA for a long time now, I expect a fight so it’s good for me, it’s a good opportunity so let’s see what happens in January. I’m so happy it’s the first event we’ll do MMA and Muay Thai so I’m happy to do this.”
