Stamp Fairtex wanted a mixed rules bout and was delighted to hear about the matchup

Stamp says she has been targeting a mixed rules fight ever since she shared the card with ONE’s first such contest in March 2022 at ONE X. 

 She explained how this fight came together:

“The day I fought with Angela Lee was the same day Rodtang fought with Demetrious. Chatri [Sityodtong, ONE Chairman and CEO], came to talk with me, and I told him that I was willing to take part in this kind of special fight. What I asked for came true. This is a new challenge for me, and it will push me to the limit.”
