MMA fans and communities were saddened by the news that three-sport World Champion Stamp Fairtex will not be able to compete at ONE 167 earlier this month because of an unfortunate injury she suffered during training. Now on the road to recovery after surgery, Stamp Fairtex took to social media to update her fans on how she’s doing. She’s optimistic about returning to action for her scheduled fight at ONE 168: Denver, happening on September 6th at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. There, she’ll challenge Xiong Jing Nan for the ONE Women’s Strawweight MMA World Championship.

Stamp Fairtex shared an Instagram reel showcasing her physiotherapy progress. The video featured basic post-surgery exercises like cycling and unsupported walking. The caption read, “5 weeks after surgery Now I just started cycling. Thank you @rehab_performance_pattaya @felix_pts @ratcha_pts for your care and support. Little by little I‘m starting to feel more confident and hope I can get back to doing everything normally soon!“

This reel also captured the attention of Stamp’s fans worldwide, who showered her with immense support. They stand firmly behind their favorite fighter as she recovers and looks forward to returning to the Circle.

Stamp Fairtex gains support in quick recovery

Before her fight at ONE 167 earlier this month, Stamp Fairtex suffered an injury during a sparring session. The accident, caused by a mismatch in size with her sparring partner, resulted in a torn meniscus. Now, five weeks after surgery, her fans have shown immense support through her recent Instagram reel. One fan cautioned against rushing her recovery, commenting, “Remember, healing takes time. Don’t rush it.” Meanwhile, another fan expressed their admiration, saying, “You’re the best Stamp! Speedy recovery.“

The well-wishes didn’t stop there. The comment section overflowed with positive messages, a rarity these days. Another fan offered encouragement, commenting, “Keep up the spirit stamp!” while one fan enthusiastically declared Stamp the best, saying, “Go girl you’re the best!” An optimistic fan expressed hope that the upcoming title fight against Xiong Jing Nan will push through, commenting, “You’ll come back even stronger Stamp … I wish you a good recovery.”

Stamp’s countrymen also made their presence felt with one offering encouragement in Thai, a message that translated to: “Nathhawan (Stamp’s real name), love you with all my heart! Feel better soon, queen!” Finally, another fan perfectly captured the overall sentiment, simply saying, “Love you Stamp! You got this!” The outpouring of support from her fans is truly heartwarming, and it would be impossible to capture every single comment in this article.

A big question mark hangs over Stamp’s upcoming fight. With just over two months left until ONE Championship returns to the US for its second event there, the question remains: will Stamp fully recover in time to face the current strawweight MMA queen, Xiong Jing Nan? Fans will have to wait and see if this fight goes ahead as planned. Stay tuned for further updates!
