“The Day I Fought Angela Lee” – Stamp Fairtex Reveals Conversation With Chatri Sityodtong That Led to a ‘New Page in History Book’

At just 25 years old, Stamp Fairtex is already thinking about her legacy. On January 13 at ONE Fight Night 6: Superbon vs. Allazov on Prime Video, the Thai superstar will look to add a huge feather to her cap when she squares off with all-time kickboxing great Anissa “C18” Meksen in a historic mixed rules super-fight. 

 The second bout of its kind in ONE Championship and the first between women, this unique showdown will go down in front of Stamp’s adoring home-country fans in the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. With rounds alternating between Muay Thai and MMA rules, the fight represents a massive opportunity for Stamp to add to her already impressive resume.

Stamp Fairtex intends to write a new chapter in her book of legacy

The Fairtex Gym athlete knows that her clash with Meksen could be a career-defining moment. She said, “I’m going to start the year with a mixed rules super-fight. It will be a great opportunity to write a new page in my history book, to create my own legacy.” After all, Stamp’s legacy is already awe-inspiring.

She is a former ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion, as well as the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix Champion, showing unprecedented success across both MMA and the striking arts. The mixed rules contest against the French-Algerian striking queen, then, makes perfect sense.

Not only does it give the atomweight star a chance to showcase both her striking and grappling, but it also presents the opportunity to face one of the world’s top pound-for-pound knockout artists.

Stamp Fairtex wanted a mixed rules bout and was delighted to hear about the matchup

Stamp says she has been targeting a mixed rules fight ever since she shared the card with ONE’s first such contest in March 2022 at ONE X. 

 She explained how this fight came together:

“The day I fought with Angela Lee was the same day Rodtang fought with Demetrious. Chatri [Sityodtong, ONE Chairman and CEO], came to talk with me, and I told him that I was willing to take part in this kind of special fight. What I asked for came true. This is a new challenge for me, and it will push me to the limit.”

“[When I got the offer], I was practicing as usual at that time. [My manager] walked up to me and said, ‘You have to fight [Meksen] in MMA and Muay Thai rules.’ And I replied, ‘Really?”

“I was so excited because I know this will be one of the most important fights in my life. It will also bring me more followers.”
