After earning a third-round knockout at ONE Fight Night 14: Stamp vs. Ham, newly crowned ONE Atomweight MMA World Champion Stamp Fairtex made history by becoming the first-ever three-sport queen in combat sports.

The Thai megastar dispatched Ham Seo Hee on Saturday (September 30) in the main event at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Having held both Muay Thai and kickboxing gold, the World Title in the all-encompassing sport was the only strap that eluded her.

Many thought the holy trinity was a far-fetched idea. An impossible dream. But Stamp never gave in. Now, she claimed the unparalleled feat of mastering three different disciplines, by the age of 25 nonetheless.

"I feel very proud and happy that I've won my third title. I think I'm the only woman and the first person that has ever achieved this," Stamp said.

Another unknown heading into ONE Fight Night 14's main event was the status of then-ONE Atomweight MMA World Champion Angela Lee. The winner would, after all, win the ONE Interim Atomweight MMA World Title and face Lee down the road to unify belts.

Not many knew if Lee would return to competition following the loss of her younger sister, Victoria Lee. And right before Stamp and Ham fought for the interim title, she announced her retirement and the aforementioned fight became a battle for lineal gold.

When Stamp toppled Ham, she overcame a hurdle she once fell over. The Thai megastar lost to Lee for the ONE Atomweight MMA World Title last year after hurting the Singaporean-American in round one.

So, this win was a poetic moment for both Lee and Stamp, as the former passed the torch to the Fairtex Training Center superstar, lacing her shoulder with the ONE Atomweight MMA World Title.

With the respect shared between Stamp and Lee following their bout 18 months ago at ONE X, the dancing dueller felt honored to be handed the crown by someone she now looks to as a sister. And Stamp is ready to defend the strap against any and all comers.

"I was very overwhelmed because Angela herself passed on her belt to me," Stamp said. "I remember when I fought her, she told me that I would be the next champion, and I feel very honored about that. I would love to fight with anyone. Anyone that's ready. I don't really mind."
