SUMMARY
- Stamp Fairtex is a rising superstar in the world of combat sports.
- Fairtex is a three-sport World Champion in ONE Championship.
Stamp Fairtex gained a lot of fans in the past year, and it seems that one of them was none other than “Super” Sage Northcutt.
The ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Champion made history in 2023 when she became the first athlete to win World Titles in three separate sports, adding to her previous reigns as ONE atomweight Muay Thai and kickboxing queen. It’s all a far cry from her promotional debut in 2018 as an unknown Muay Thai fighter from rural Thailand with just a couple thousand followers on social media.

Stamp is now a social media phenom with more than one million followers across all platforms. The 27-year-old is now one of the most recognizable faces in MMA, and she is in hot demand the world over for seminars and appearances. Stamp’s heroics in the Circle also saw her named ONE’s “2023 Best MMA Fighter,” and Northcutt tends to agree.
Sage Northcutt highlights most revered Stamp Fairtex moment
Just as ONE Championship did, Sage Northcutt has revealed that Stamp Fairtex is his favorite fighter of 2023. The American MMA superstar was quizzed on the past year and praised the Fairtex Training Center representative.
“Favorite new fighter over the last year? I’ve been a big fan of watching Stamp Fairtex,” he said. “There’s actually quite a few, but I mean, I got to actually fight on the same card as Stamp and so that was cool.”

Northcutt returned to action himself last year when he ended a near four-year hiatus to shock Ahmed Mujtaba with a first-round heel hook at ONE’s United States debut in May. It was the first submission victory since 2015 for Northcutt, who is normally noted for his explosive, karate-inspired striking style.
The 27-year-old was slated to face Japanese legend Shinya Aoki this past weekend at ONE 165. However, unforeseen issues saw the fight scrapped on fight day. Northcutt was replaced by former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion John Lineker, who succumbed to Aoki by submission.
