Stamp Fairtex Returns To Muay Thai Against Cynthia Flores At The Inner Circle On June 26
Stamp Fairtex has held a ONE World Title in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. No other athlete in ONE Championship history, male or female, has done that. On June 26, she returns to the discipline where the journey began.
The former three-sport ONE World Champion faces Mexican contender Cynthia Flores in an atomweight Muay Thai bout at The Inner Circle on Friday, June 26, live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Stamp’s striking career preceded everything else. The Fairtex Training Center representative from Pattaya captured the inaugural ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Title in 2018, then made history the following February by defeating Janet “JT” Todd to claim the inaugural ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Title.
A successful defence over Alma Juniku followed before Allycia Hellen Rodrigues took the belt by majority decision in August 2020. The loss prompted the pivot to MMA that ultimately produced her third world title. It was a journey that transformed her from a striking champion into the most versatile female combat sports athlete in the world.
The road back to this moment has been a difficult one. A severe meniscus tear in May 2024 sidelined her for over a year, requiring intensive rehabilitation before she was cleared to compete again.
Her return at ONE 173 last November ended in a unanimous decision loss to Kana “Krusher Queen” Morimoto across three kickboxing rounds. It wasn’t the homecoming result she wanted, but nine competitive minutes that confirmed the body had held up under elite-level pressure. June 26 is the next step in a reclamation project that has been running since the surgery table.
Flores is not the kind of opponent who will allow Stamp any easing-in period. The 31-year-old Mexican Muay Thai Champion built her reputation on the North American regional scene through volume, aggression, and a refusal to accept that the fight is over until the final bell. Defeats against Martyna Dominczak and Tangtang Sor Dechapan tested her at ONE Championship level and left her with a sharper understanding of the gap she needs to close. A win over Stamp would close it in one night.
For Stamp, the stakes are equally clear. A return to the win column in her foundational discipline, against a dangerous opponent with nothing to lose, is the statement June 26 demands.
