“Prepare yourself to handle the pressure well” - Stamp Fairtex shares the lessons she learned from school that apply to fighting

Former three-sport ONE world champion and previous atomweight MMA queen Stamp Fairtex of Thailand has been out of action since her historic world title-winning performance over South Korean rival Ham Seo Hee in September of 2023. That evening in Singapore at ONE Fight Night 14, Stamp claimed a third-round technical knockout victory to capture the vacant ONE women's atomweight MMA world title.

Unfortunately, Stamp suffered an injury in training not long after, and was forced to have surgery on her knee, which has subsequently kept her out of action since.

While she hasn't been focused on returning to the ring, Stamp has however gone back to class to get her college degree.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Stamp talked about what she learned in school and how she will apply it to her fighting career moving forward.

The Fairtex Training Center product told the world's largest martial arts organization:

"Think about how you will use the knowledge you have gained to further develop yourself after graduation, and prepare yourself to handle the pressure well."

Needless to say, fans cannot wait to see Stamp Fairtex back in action in the ring at the soonest possible time.
