Ahead of her mixed martial arts showdown at 1stBank Center in Denver, Colorado, Stamp said:

“Of course, I’m good at the stand-up part of the game. My strength is my stand-up game. This is what I will bring to the fight. I am more skilled than [Anderson] in terms of Muay Thai and kickboxing. 

“And in the ground game, maybe I am inferior, but I think I will have the advantage and will come out on top in our striking exchanges.”

With more than 60 career wins in Muay Thai and kickboxing, it’s easy to understand why the former ONE Atomweight MMA World Title Challenger is regarded as the most feared striker in the 115-pound division.

Stamp Fairtex is aiming to surprise the audience

Often blending her speed and combinations in her punches, kicks, and elbows, Stamp’s striking style in the all-encompassing sport guarantees excitement and, more importantly, highlight-reel finishes.

From 11 promotional fights in MMA, the Fairtex Gym representative has amassed nine wins – most of which have featured impressive stand-up action. 

However, with MMA being more than just striking, Stamp knows to expect tests in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, too – areas that have previously been described as weaknesses for the Thai star.

She added:

“She’s correct. Let her believe it that way. Because if I beat her during the ground fight – similar to how I beat Ritu with an armbar – it will surprise everyone.”
