Stamp Fairtex proved she has overcome lingering physical and mental barriers after months of rehabilitation, securing a split-decision victory over two-time WBC Muay Thai world champion Selina Flores at ONE Fight Night 47. The event took place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok and was broadcast live on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old from Pattaya had been plagued by hesitation following a meniscus tear suffered in May 2024, an injury that cast a shadow over her subsequent performances and led to a dropped decision during her comeback bout in November. She also acknowledged a lackluster showing in her June victory, prompting significant self-doubt regarding her readiness to compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
Fairtex started aggressively, launching body kicks and applying pressure in the clinch with surgical precision. While Flores initially struggled to establish her range or utilize her signature teep kicks effectively, she found her rhythm in the second frame. Low kicks and sharp right hands began to land as the American fighter grew into the contest.<\/p>\n
The third round escalated into a chaotic exchange where both fighters traded significant strikes. When Flores threw a spinning back elbow that missed its target, Fairtex immediately countered with a matching strike that landed cleanly. She followed up with a cartwheel kick that electrified the crowd and drew a smile of respect from her opponent.<\/p>\n
Two of the three judges scored the bout in Fairtex’s favor, recognizing her output and resilience. The win improves Fairtex\u2019s professional record to 66-18 and extends her current winning streak to two fights. As the first competitor to hold world championships in kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA under the ONE Championship banner, she now faces a decision on whether to pursue the Women’s Atomweight MMA title she vacated in May 2025 or continue her Muay Thai campaign.<\/p>\n
Other results from the card included Ricardo Bravo defeating Mohamed Younes Rabah by knockout in the first round, Fabio Henrique earning a unanimous decision over Ryohei Kurosawa, and Pawel Jaworski submitting Rafael Lovato Jr. with a kneebar in the opening round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
