That being said, fans are wondering when Stamp will be making her return to MMA, to which she responded.
Speaking to veteran reporter Nick Atkin in a recent interview, Stamp revealed her timeline:
“Yeah, it's next year for sure. I want, what my opinion is, I want after my Muay Thai fight because in my mind, I want to fight kickboxing first, and then next year maybe one more fight for Muay Thai, and then MMA. I don’t know. Maybe I have to train in MMA first and then Muay Thai. I’m not sure.”Needless to say, fans can’t wait to see Stamp Fairtex back in action in the ONE Championship Circle at the soonest possible time.
