'I Hope People In America Will Tune In': Stamp Fairtex On Her U.S. Primetime Main Event
Former three-sport ONE World Champion Stamp Fairtex has a clear mission on September 4.
The 28-year-old Thai megastar faces two-time WBC Muay Thai World Champion Selina "The Teep Queen" Flores in the main event at ONE Fight Night 47. The show goes down live in U.S. primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and North American fans can watch it exclusively on Prime Video.
Stamp is the only fighter in ONE Championship history to have claimed atomweight world titles across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA.
Her road back to active competition after a serious knee injury in 2024 has been gradual, producing a comeback kickboxing loss to Japanese veteran Kana last November and a narrow split-decision Muay Thai win over Cynthia Flores in June. She arrives at ONE Fight Night 47 with a point to prove to her fans, herself, and the American audience watching on Prime Video.
Stamp Wants to Restore Fan Faith at ONE Fight Night 47
The outcome of the Cynthia Flores fight in June left Stamp with something to correct, not just in terms of performance but in terms of the trust she has spent years building with a global fan base.
"The most important thing in this fight is beating Selina to get my confidence back and restore the fans' faith in me. It's a chance to make up for that. I'll give it everything I've got. I'm excited just like I am for every fight, and I hope this is a fight that people in America will tune in for," Stamp said.
Stamp's 15-5 combined ONE Championship record across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA tells the story of a champion who has competed at the highest level across multiple disciplines.
Flores' background as a former WBC Muay Thai World Champion and her strong ONE Championship debut make her a credible test, and Stamp's desire to deliver a performance worthy of a U.S. primetime main event gives September 4 a personal edge beyond the result.
Thai Megastar Identifies Flores' Range Advantage
The tactical challenge Stamp faces against Flores in their atomweight Muay Thai clash is specific, and she has addressed it directly. The reach differential between the two fighters shapes how the contest is likely to unfold, and Stamp has a clear understanding of the role she needs to play.
"What should make this fight exciting is probably when I have to come forward and try to score. She's longer than me, so she'll have to maintain her distance and use her kicks and punches from her range. I'll have to be the one coming forward," she explained.
Flores, 28, from Vista, San Diego, is a former WBC Muay Thai World Champion with a 9-1 striking record and a victorious ONE Championship debut behind her, having beaten Marie McManamon via unanimous decision last year.
Stamp Wants to Reclaim Her Status as a Three-Sport Queen
Stamp has a larger ambition that drives every training session and every performance decision. The title of three-sport world champion is one she still carries by name, but she wants to carry it by action.
“I also want to reclaim my status as a three-sport World Champion. Everyone still calls me that, so I hope I can achieve it and really do it. If I get the opportunity to do it, I want to. I want to get back to the place where I used to stand out," she said.
Stamp relinquished the Women's ONE Atomweight MMA World Title after her knee injury prevented her from defending it, and the return path runs through consistent performances in striking competition before an MMA comeback becomes viable. A convincing win over Flores on September 4 would be the clearest signal yet that the version of Stamp who conquered three disciplines is finding her way back.
Watch ONE Fight Night 47 live on Prime Video at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Friday, September 4.
