“I survived” - Kana Morimoto reacts to hard-fought victory over former three-sport queen Stamp Fairtex

Japanese striking sensation Kana Morimoto was on cloud nine after notching the biggest win of her career at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri.

'Krusher Queen' displayed a punishing pace and pinpoint accuracy in her well-earned unanimous decision win over former ONE atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex.

The Team Aftermath representative wrote on Instagram, shortly after her career-defining triumph:

"I survived. I won. Thank you for fighting stamp.🙏🏽 Moving on to the next fight. Thank you for all your support. Thank you everyone around the world."

Kana had a point to prove entering this pivotal women's striking showdown at Ariake Arena last November 16.

After all, the 33-year-old veteran fell short in her high-profile battles against Anissa Meksen and reigning ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion 'The Queen' Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom.

Kana knew beating a former three-sport world champion and beloved fan-favorite like Stamp puts her right back into the mix for title contention.

The Japanese star put on her best performance yet, blitzing the Thai megastar as soon as the bell rang.

Kana masterfully battered Stamp's lead leg with ballistic low kicks and penetrated her guard multiple times with bullet-like punch combinations for three full rounds.
