Three-sport megastar Stamp Fairtex has done her homework on her upcoming foe, Kana Morimoto. While impressed by what the former K-1 champion packs within her world-class arsenal, the Thai megastar is more than prepared to fight fire with fire.In less than two weeks, the Fairtex Training Center affiliate makes her hotly anticipated return on martial arts' grandest stage.She goes toe-to-toe with the Japanese kickboxing specialist in an atomweight kickboxing matchup at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena on Sunday, Nov. 16.Speaking to ONE Championship in a pre-fight interview, the Pattaya-based fighter dissected 'Krusher Queen's' arsenal while admitting she isn't all that scared of her dance partner's skill set."Her most dangerous weapons, I feel, are probably her punches and the calf kicks she has, because all Japanese fighters have those. I’m only scared of one move, the spinning back kick," the 27-year-old shared.Stamp Fairtex's road back to the global stage has been far from easy. The Fairtex fighter had to overcome recurring injuries to her knee, one that has kept her on the sidelines for over two years.In her last appearance, she created history by becoming the first three-sport world champion with a third-round TKO of South Korean veteran Ham Seo Hee in their ONE women's atomweight MMA world title matchup in September 2023.
