Buakaw Banchamek Explains Why Stamp Fairtex Is a “Master”; Gives High Praise for the Three-Sport Champ

Stamp Fairtex has gained plenty of fans thanks to her unique combination of charisma, charm, combat skills, and devastating power.

Recently, Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek revealed himself as an admirer of the Thai superstar, and he broke down Stamp’s latest victory at ONE Fight Night 14 last August.

Muay Thai Legend Buakaw gives high praise for Stamp Fairtex

That evening, the Fairtex Training Center standout claimed the vacant ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Title against Ham Seo Hee, crowning her as the first athlete in ONE to win a belt in three sports.

Her incredible skills were on full display in the match, and Buakaw took the chance to offer his praise to the 26-year-old as he discussed her performance.

“Stamp has won many belts, even the ONE kickboxing and Muay Thai [world titles]. Whether it’s MMA, Muay Thai, or kickboxing, she’s a master in all three. If you asked me [what makes Stamp great], it’s a matter of adaptability due to the different regulations. But she’s definitely got it,” he said.

Buakaw is one of the most revered icons in Muay Thai, with close to 300 bouts to his name. He claimed multiple World Titles in the early 2000s and has competed in many world-class promotions.

The 41-year-old knows talent when he sees it, which is why he has followed Stamp’s rise in the combat sports world.

“Stamp is one of the best strikers I have my eyes on and one that I actually admire. She’s super tough. Her fighting style is on point. She’s at the top-ranked among Thai female strikers,” Buakaw said.

By claiming MMA gold, Stamp proved that she is no longer just a striker. But she may feel a pullback to the striking arts in ONE Championship in the near future.

Fairtex’s next fight to achieve Muay Thai immortality

ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues and kickboxing queen Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom have both recently called her out, which could prove to be the catalyst for her to return to the divisions she once ruled over.

Holding three belts in three sports simultaneously in ONE Championship would be an unprecedented feat – But if anyone can do it, it’s Stamp Fairtex.
