"I've gone up a lot" - Three-sport queen Stamp Fairtex says her MMA skills have grown exponentially over the years
Reigning and undisputed ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex of Thailand says she's really coming into her own as a mixed martial artist.
The former ONE women's atomweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion, and now MMA queen believes her hard work is really starting to pay off. The 26-year-old megastar can't wait to showcase her skills again for all the world to see.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Stamp talked about her ever-evolving MMA skills.
The Fairtex Training Center product stated:
"When I look back, I feel like I have improved a lot. And when I first fought professional MMA, I didn't really know the entire MMA skill set. But now, I feel like I've gone up a lot."
Stamp's stark improvement has been evident. She has quickly become the face of ONE Championship, and one of the most talented female MMA fighters in the world.
Stamp Fairtex returns to action to defend her ONE women's atomweight MMA world title in June. The 26-year-old is set to lock horns with former training partner, no.2-ranked women's atomweight MMA contender 'The Menace' Denice Zamboanga of the Philippines.
The former 'besties' will do battle in the main event of ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga on Prime Video, which broadcasts live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Stamp Fairtex is obsessed with improving her jiu-jitsu: "Now I love it"
26-year-old Thai icon Stamp Fairtex is rapidly developing into one of the most complete MMA fighters in the game. This is largely in part due to her insistence to work on her grappling.
She told South China Morning Post:
"Jiu-jitsu has helped me a lot, particularly in the ground game. It's good, I liked it. But now I love it."
Will Stamp try to take Denice Zamboanga to the ground?
