Former Three-Sport ONE World Champion Stamp Fairtex Returns to Muay Thai in June
Stamp Fairtex, one of combat sports' most decorated stars, is going back to where it all began.
Stamp, the former three-sport ONE World Champion, returns to Muay Thai after six years away from the discipline to face Mexican striker Cynthia Flores in an atomweight fight at The Inner Circle on Thursday, June 26, streaming exclusively on live.onefc.com.
The 28-year-old Thai superstar is the only fighter in ONE Championship history to have won Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA World Titles.
Stamp, who trains at Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, began her Muay Thai journey at the age of 5, and her return to the discipline that launched her legendary career carries the full weight of a story that has taken her further than any woman in the promotion's history.
Thai Star Braces for First Muay Thai Fight in Years
Stamp's Muay Thai return is one of the most anticipated moments in ONE Championship's atomweight division this year. She claimed the inaugural ONE Women's Atomweight Muay Thai World Title in 2019 in just her second promotional appearance, becoming the first-ever two-sport ONE World Champion at that point.
Her reign came to an end in 2020 when she lost the belt to Allycia Hellen Rodrigues, the current ONE Women's Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion who will feature in the June 19 main event at The Inner Circle.
At 28 years old and with a 14-5 ONE record that includes six victories via finish, Stamp brings the experience of a three-sport World Champion back to a discipline she has not competed in since 2020.
Her charisma inside and outside the ring, combined with the striking explosiveness built across a 64-18 career record, makes her return to atomweight Muay Thai one of the most compelling storylines at The Inner Circle this summer.
A Win Over Stamp Could Be Career-Defining for Flores
Flores arrives at The Inner Circle with something to prove.
The 31-year-old Mexican has struggled to find her footing in ONE Championship after back-to-back losses, and the opportunity to face the most decorated atomweight in the promotion's history is precisely the kind of moment that can redefine a career in an instant.
Beating Stamp would be the most significant result any Mexican female striker has ever produced in ONE Championship, a win that would immediately place Flores in the division's title conversation and erase every question mark her promotional record has raised.
Her 25-7 career record reflects a striker with years of professional experience, and the preparation that goes into a fight against a three-sport queen tends to bring out the best in a fighter who has been searching for a breakout performance.
Stamp's Remarkable MMA Journey
Before returning to Muay Thai, Stamp built an MMA resume that few fighters in the atomweight division have come close to matching. She debuted in MMA and won four consecutive fights against top-tier opponents before suffering a controversial loss to Ukraine's Alyona Rassohyna in 2021.
She bounced back in a rematch months later to avenge the defeat, then won two more fights including the ONE Atomweight World Grand Prix Championship over India's Ritu Phogat to earn a title shot.
That title shot against then-ONE Women's Atomweight MMA World Champion Angela Lee ended in a submission loss, but Stamp refused to let it derail her trajectory. She followed it with three consecutive victories, capping the run with the vacant ONE Atomweight MMA World Title win over Ham Seo Hee to become a three-sport ONE World Champion and cement her place in the promotion's history books.
A knee injury prevented her from defending the MMA title, and the relinquishment that followed was one of the more painful chapters of a career full of highs.
