Stamp Fairtex set for MMA return at 'ONE Championship 110: No Surrender'

ONE Championship has announced its full fight card for the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ONE Championship 110: No Surrender” takes place at the Impact Arena in Bangkok on Friday, July 31, and marks the return to action of former two-sport champion Stamp Fairtex, who will continue her emerging MMA career at the Impact Arena when she takes on Sunisa Srisen in a women’s atomweight bout.

Fairtex (3-0), who captured the promotion’s kickboxing and muay Thai titles before switching her attention to MMA, picked up back-to-back victories in 2019, then added a third win with a first-round TKO stoppage of Puja Tomar at “ONE Championship 106: A New Tomorrow” in January. Now the 22-year-old Thai will return to action against promotional newcomer Srisen (3-0).

Also set for action under MMA rules is Bangkok-based New Zealander Mark Abelardo, who will look to bounce back into the win column against debutant Fabricio Andrade in a 148-pound catchweight matchup.

Abelardo (19-7) earned his spot on the ONE Championship roster after graduating from the promotion’s talent-finding series, ONE Warrior Series, and has alternated wins and losses in his four outings as part of ONE’s main roster.

His last appearance saw Abelardo lose a unanimous decision to undefeated American Troy Worthen at ONE’s most recent event, “ONE Championship 109: King of the Jungle,” in February. Now he’ll look to get his form back on track in Bangkok against Brazilian newcomer Andrade (3-2).

The event in Bangkok will feature two muay Thai title fights at the top of the six-fight card, with a quartet of Thailand’s best muay Thai strikers set for action in the two headline matchups.

In the main event, flyweight champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon will put his title on the line against “The Baby Shark” Petchdam Petchyindee Academy, while the co-headliner will see muay Thai legend Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex challenge reigning featherweight muay Thai champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee Academy.

The full “ONE Championship 110: No Surrender” fight card includes:

• Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Petchdam Petchyindee Academy (for flyweight muay Thai title)
• Champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee Academy vs. Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex (for featherweight muay Thai title)
