Stamp Fairtex is an undisputed three-sport world champion, something that she didn’t think would be possible before ONE Fight Night 14‘s start.
Following the surprise retirement of Angela Lee just moments prior to her main event bout Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium, Fairtex (11-2) finished UFC alum Seo Hee Ham (26-9) to clinch ONE Championship MMA gold.
The finish came at 1:04 of Round 3 and started with a straight right hand to the body of Ham, who was unable to bluff her way out of the damage. As Ham retreated, Fairtex took chase. Her attack of kicks and knees glanced off the body, but the moment she resorted back to the body punches, Ham folded.
ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong was joined by Lee in the cage after the fight in an impromptu passing-of-the-torch moment as the decision was announced. Fairtex, overcome with emotion, thanked Lee, a former opponent and said she always looked up to her.
