Stamp Fairtex vs. Alyona Rassohyna I & II Full Fights | ONE Championship
The two MMA fights between Stamp Fairtex and Alyona Rassohyna tell one of the more important early stories of Stamp’s transition from elite striker to championship-level mixed martial artist. This full-fight collection brings together their 2021 meetings in ONE Championship: a dramatic upset at ONE: Unbreakable III and the immediate rematch that gave Stamp her revenge.
Rassohyna shocks Stamp at ONE: Unbreakable III
The first Stamp vs. Rassohyna fight headlined ONE: Unbreakable III in February 2021. Stamp entered unbeaten in MMA after beginning her ONE career as a Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion, while Rassohyna brought the kind of submission game that represented a very different problem.
For most of the fight, Stamp appeared to be solving it. She defended takedowns, escaped submission attempts and repeatedly found success with her striking. Rassohyna kept attacking, however, and with the final bell approaching she turned one last takedown sequence into a guillotine choke.
The referee stopped the fight at 4:53 of the third round after interpreting Stamp’s hand movement as a tap. Stamp immediately protested the decision, but the result stood: Rassohyna had scored the submission and handed the Thai star the first defeat of her MMA career.
The controversial ending made a rematch almost inevitable.
Stamp gets her revenge at ONE: Empower
Seven months later, the rivalry resumed at ONE: Empower, this time with a place in the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix semifinals at stake.
Rassohyna again looked to drag the fight into grappling exchanges, attacking with a guillotine, heel hook and a dangerous third-round armbar. Stamp’s response showed how quickly her MMA game had developed. She escaped the submission threats, defended takedowns more effectively and did damage both standing and from top position.
There was no late finish this time. After three rounds, Stamp earned a split-decision victory and evened the series at one win apiece.
The result became an important step in what followed. Stamp went on to win the Atomweight World Grand Prix by submitting Ritu Phogat, and in 2023 she stopped Ham Seo Hee to capture the ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Championship and become the promotion’s first athlete to win world titles in MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Stamp’s return continues at ONE Fight Night 47
The Rassohyna fights remain a useful snapshot of an earlier version of Stamp, before the Grand Prix victory and before she reached the top of ONE’s atomweight MMA division. They also arrive back in focus as Stamp continues her return to competition.
On September 4, she faces Selina Flores in atomweight Muay Thai at ONE Fight Night 47 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. The card also includes several MMA bouts, including Gabriela Fujimoto vs. Macarena Aragon, Gilbert Nakatani vs. Nazareth Lalthazuala and Hector Almonacid vs. Pedro Dantas.
For anyone following Stamp’s career today, the two Rassohyna fights show a turning point. The first exposed the danger of a single late grappling exchange; the second showed the adjustments that helped Stamp continue through the Grand Prix and eventually reach a level few multi-sport fighters have matched.
