WATCH: Stamp Fairtex’s thrilling revenge fight against Ukrainian star Alyona Rassohyna in Atomweight MMA World Grand Prix
Three-sport queen Stamp Fairtex avenged her loss to Ukrainian standout Alyona Rassohyna in impressive fashion during the ONE Atomweight MMA World Grand Prix tournament.
Still finding her footing in mixed martial arts after dominating the worlds of kickboxing and Muay Thai, Stamp suffered a setback against Rassohyna at ONE: Unbreakable III in February 2021. She lost in the third round due to a guillotine choke.
Seven months later, Stamp got her revenge, earning a decision win over Rassohyna during their scrap at ONE Championship's first-ever all-women's event, ONE: Empower:
"Stamp got her revenge against Alyona Rassohyna in impressive fashion. The atomweight MMA queen defends her throne against friend-turned-rival Denice Zamboanga at ONE 167 on Prime Video."
Stamp Fairtex went on to win the ONE Atomweight MMA World Grand Prix title, defeating Julie Mezabarba via unanimous decision in the semifinals followed by a sensational submission victory over Ritu Phogat in the tournament final. That victory put the Thai superstar on the path that eventually led her to become the reigning ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion and the promotion's first-ever three-sport world titleholder.
