The three-sport superstar has focused on her MMA career as of late, but she revealed that she wants to return to her natural discipline of Muay Thai.

Stamp added that the allure of Muay Thai and kickboxing never left her mind, and she'd gladly return to her first two disciplines if given the chance.
She wrote on the r/MMA subreddit:
"Most challenging is MMA but I want to go back to Muay Thai and Kickboxing. I'm looking forward to going back to Muay Thai."
