You want drama? Bangkok delivered it in spades on Friday. Stamp Fairtex and Selina Flores put on a three-round clinic in the atomweight Muay Thai main event of ONE Fight Night 47, and it genuinely could have gone either way.
Right from the jump, you could tell Stamp meant business. She was landing body kicks and knees in the clinch all round long, and Flores, usually so sharp with her teeps, just couldn't find her footing in round one.
Then Flores flipped the script. Round two saw her land a push kick and a right hand good enough to earn a nod from Stamp. But round three belonged to Stamp, who worked her shin into Flores' body and answered every counter, landing a cartwheel kick that had everyone smiling.
The co-main event was even wilder. Ricardo Bravo and Mohamed Younes Rabah barely got going before things turned messy, with an accidental eye poke and then an illegal knee below the belt from Rabah interrupting the action in their featherweight Muay Thai battle.
Two seconds. That's all the time Rabah had left when Bravo caught him with a left hook that ended things for good. It capped a rough stretch for the Argentinian, who had dropped three straight before this one, and pushed his record to 28-5.
