Stamp Fairtex claims easy win at ‘ONE Championship 110: No Surrender’

Thai starlet Stamp Fairtex extended her undefeated start to her MMA career with a first-round stoppage victory at ONE Championship 110.

[autotag]Stamp Fairtex[/autotag] delivered another dominant performance to extend her perfect professional MMA record at “ONE Championship 110: No Surrender” in Bangkok, Thailand.

Fairtex (5-0 MMA) defeated 19-year-old debutant [autotag]Sunisa Srisen[/autotag] via first-round TKO in the featured MMA bout of the evening in the behind-closed-doors event at the Impact Arena to continue her rise up the ONE atomweight ladder.

Fairtex dominated the stand-up and connected with some punishing knees to the midsection when the pair clinched up. But it wasn’t until the fight went to the mat that the 22-year-old secured the victory.

After taking Srisen (3-1 MMA) to the canvas, Fairtex took her opponent’s back, flattened her out, and unloaded a barrage of ground strikes that forced referee Nick Chapman to step in with just over a minute left in the opening round.

Fairtex is already a huge star for the Asian promotion, having captured ONE’s atomweight titles in both muay Thai and kickboxing to make history as their first two-sport champion. The Thai striker recently lost her kickboxing title to America’s Janet Todd, but is now focusing on her MMA journey as she looks to position herself for a title fight with long-reigning champion Angela Lee.

In the night’s other MMA bout, Brazilian debutant [autotag]Fabricio Andrade[/autotag] introduced himself to the ONE Championship fanbase with an eye-catching submission as he finished New Zealand’s [autotag]Mark Abelardo[/autotag] via second-round rear-naked choke.

The 22-year-old Tiger Muay Thai prospect looked at ease on his promotional debut as he happily stood and traded with the heavy-handed Kiwi, but once he took the action to the mat, Andrade (4-2 MMA) shone as he took Abelardo’s back and locked up a rear-naked choke. Abelardo (19-8) refused to tap, but the action was stopped as he slipped into unconsciousness as a result of the debutant’s hold.

“ONE Championship 110: No Surrender” was the promotion’s first major event since the COVID-19 pandemic, with the show held behind closed doors in Bangkok. The show was presented from Singapore, with Michael Schiavello and Mitch Chilson providing commentary remotely from Melbourne and Manila respectively.

Stamp Fairtex set for MMA return at ‘ONE Championship 110: No Surrender’

Former two-sport champion Stamp Fairtex will look to extend her undefeated record in MMA when she returns to action in Bangkok on July 31.

ONE Championship has announced its full fight card for the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ONE Championship 110: No Surrender” takes place at the Impact Arena in Bangkok on Friday, July 31, and marks the return to action of former two-sport champion [autotag]Stamp Fairtex[/autotag], who will continue her emerging MMA career at the Impact Arena when she takes on [autotag]Sunisa Srisen[/autotag] in a women’s atomweight bout.

Fairtex (3-0), who captured the promotion’s kickboxing and muay Thai titles before switching her attention to MMA, picked up back-to-back victories in 2019, then added a third win with a first-round TKO stoppage of Puja Tomar at “ONE Championship 106: A New Tomorrow” in January. Now the 22-year-old Thai will return to action against promotional newcomer Srisen (3-0).

Also set for action under MMA rules is Bangkok-based New Zealander [autotag]Mark Abelardo[/autotag], who will look to bounce back into the win column against debutant [autotag]Fabricio Andrade[/autotag] in a 148-pound catchweight matchup.

Abelardo (19-7) earned his spot on the ONE Championship roster after graduating from the promotion’s talent-finding series, ONE Warrior Series, and has alternated wins and losses in his four outings as part of ONE’s main roster.

His last appearance saw Abelardo lose a unanimous decision to undefeated American Troy Worthen at ONE’s most recent event, “ONE Championship 109: King of the Jungle,” in February. Now he’ll look to get his form back on track in Bangkok against Brazilian newcomer Andrade (3-2).
