Reigning and undisputed ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex of Thailand has a busy schedule ahead for the rest of the year. But that hasn't stopped the 26-year-old Thai megastar from thinking about the future.
After she takes care of business in her first world title defense this June, Stamp will attempt to make history and become a two-division world champion. And then, she is open to taking on another dangerous opponent in Singapore's Tiffany Teo, the atomweight division's no.4-ranked fighter.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Stamp shared her thoughts on 'No Chill'.
The 26-year-old said:
"I think she's a really good fighter. Yeah, it's a good challenge. Tiffany is skilled. But [Xiong Jing Nan] is stronger than her. Tiffany is really good, it's just that Panda is stronger."
Stamp is set to defend her atomweight MMA gold against close friend and no.2-ranked atomweight MMA contender 'The Menace' Denice Zamboanga of the Philippines at ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga on Prime Video.
The event broadcasts live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free on Friday, June 7th, U.S. primetime on Amazon Prime Video.
Shortly after, she will move up to strawweight to challenge 'The Panda' Xiong Jing Nan for the ONE women's strawweight MMA world title at ONE 168: Denver, which takes place on September 6th at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
Stamp Fairtex sets friendship with Denice Zamboanga aside in world title fight: "This friendship is behind"
Reigning atomweight MMA queen Stamp Fairtex has no qualms about throwing her friendship with no.2-ranked atomweight contender Denice Zamboanga out of the window, at least temporarily.
The 26-year-old will stop at nothing to keep the belt around her waist and said her relationship with Zamboanga means nothing when the cage doors are closed.
She told South China Morning Post:
"Yes, we are friends. But this friendship is behind, so we are sure to fight."
