She plans to make the most of her golden opportunity against the United MMA and Evolve MMA fighter, who she reckons has been the division champion for too long.
“It’s been so long that Angela Lee has held her championship that it’s getting boring in the weight class. It’s time for a change. It’s time for a new champion. I’ll be the new ‘Unstoppable’,” the 24-year-old shared.
“My first goal was to achieve the kickboxing belt, followed by the Muay Thai belt. And I would also like to be the MMA Champion, for which I need to beat Angela Lee. It’s only a step away for me to win the MMA belt then I will be the only one in history to own belts in three sports.”
The historic third world title in a different discipline has been on the top of her priority list ever since the striking phenom transitioned into the all-encompassing sport. However, Stamp understands that it won’t be a walk in the park.

“I personally think that when Angela Lee got pregnant, her body stopped functioning for fighting for two years. This is like a new beginning for her body in every aspect. For training and strength, I think those will be decreased, but I think her skills are still intact,” she pointed out.
