Stamp Fairtex is a dominant force in ONE Championship's circle.

The Thai has earned her stripes as a Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion, and now she's ready to test her mettle against one of the top female fighters in the world at ONE Fight Night 6: Superbon v Allazov.

She faces Anissa Meksen in a mixed rules super-fight at the event that starts at 8am on Jan 14 at the Impact Arena in Nonthaburi on the outskirts of Bangkok.

The heavy-handed French-Algerian is certain to give Stamp a tough fight in a match-up that has the potential to be one of the most exciting battles in ONE's storied history.

However, the Thai superstar believes she will have the advantage in more ways than just her trademark fearlessness.

"I believe I have practised more than her and have more experience on the ground because I have only been focusing on MMA during the past two years. I definitely had more time to concentrate on MMA compared to Meksen, who just started training in MMA after hearing the news about the super-fight," Stamp said.

"I don't think she is good enough. And even though she had trained in MMA before, it was a long time ago. The fact is that she doesn't train regularly. She should forget everything when it comes to a real fight."

The 25-year-old has already earned her place in the history books.

As the organisation's first two-sport world champion, the top-ranked atomweight's MMA record stands at an impressive 9-2, with her standup slate coming in at an astounding 63-17-5.

Her impressive credentials are only further bolstered by her purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which has allowed her to dominate opponents both on the feet and on the ground.

Those abilities were on display in 2021 when she won the ONE women's atomweight world grand prix, blazing through three opponents in a row. With such a strong resume, it's no surprise that Stamp has become one of the most respected fighters in the sport today.

She faces Meksen, a multiple-time world champion with a background in boxing, savate, Muay Thai, and kickboxing.

The 34-year-old is known for her hard-hitting and swarming style, which has seen her finish her opponents quickly over the years.

"C18's" skills helped her build an impressive 103-5 record.
