At the Ariake Arena on Sunday, Nov. 16, the Fairtex Training Center affiliate makes her hotly anticipated return to the Circle against the former K-1 champion.

Ahead of the showdown, the 27-year-old striking specialist had a message for her dance partner.

"If you want to get past me, it’s going to be tough. I will try to show what I have, I will give it my best, and I will show everyone what Stamp Fairtex is all about," the Pattaya-based fighter told ONE Championship in an exclusive interview.

Stamp Fairtex is fired up to reintroduce herself to global fight fans after being forced onto the sidelines due to an injury to her knee that has kept her on the sidelines since late 2023.

Despite achieving rarified air in her last outing, securing the atomweight MMA world title with a vicious finish of Ham Seo Hee in Singapore, the Thai striking specialist was forced to relinquish her gold last year due to a recurring issue with her leg.

She hopes to work her way back into the MMA world title picture. But before any talk about the all-encompassing discipline, the Fairtex representative is fully committed to the task at hand at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri on Nov. 16.

"I feel it's a challenge. Whether I win or lose, there's no harm in fighting her. I feel that fighting someone great is always a good thing.”

Could Stamp secure a much-needed W in her return to action, or will Kana emerge victorious to get her career back on track?
