The 27-year-old Fairtex Training Center athlete told the world’s largest martial arts organization:

“If I had to analyze Kana, her strength is her speed, like her one-two combos and her in-and-out movement. As for her weakness, when she moves in and out quickly, she doesn’t always protect herself. I might be able to use a sweeping kick or something to interrupt her.”

Needless to say, fans can’t wait to see Stamp back in action.

She had an inspiring message for her fans ahead of her comeback fight. She told ONE Championship:

“For those who look up to me as an idol, and are looking for something from Stamp, I would just advise: Don’t give up, don’t lose heart, and don’t be discouraged. Look at me, I tore my knee, had surgery. Other people told me to retire, saying, ‘Just quit, you don’t need to prove anything anymore.’ But I feel like I still have a better version of myself to show.”

Stamp concluded:

“I fell, struggled, almost lost my hope, but I was able to come back. That means you can come back too. You can do what you think is impossible.”
