Stamp Fairtex opened up about the extra time she's spent thinking while recovering from an injury.
On June 7, Stamp was scheduled to defend her ONE women's atomweight MMA world title for the first time. Unfortunately, the Thai megastar suffered a torn meniscus while training, forcing her to pull out of the ONE 167 matchup against her close friend and former training partner Denice Zamboanga.
The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer for Stamp, as she prepares to return to training fully within the next month.

Stamp recently posted a video on the Fairtex Training Center YouTube channel to provide an update for fans. The reigning ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion had this to say about what she learned during her recovery process:
"I learned a lot because when I’m alone and everything is quiet, I have a lot of thinking. Like, why am I wasting time so much? Why I don’t keep track of time? Like, when I have time, why I’m not paying attention, why I’m not focused, why I lost the time, like, I don’t have money. I should focus more than before. Because I feel like now, I’m wasting time a lot after surgery."
Fairtex last fought in September 2023, defeating Ham Seo Hee by third-round knockout to become the new women's atomweight MMA queen. The question is, what's next for Stamp once she inevitably returns to action?
