Has there ever been another MMA PRO champion who was also a champ in at least TWO other PRO combat sports? Who? I only know of one.

Being a Muay Thai champion in ONE Championship isn’t as prestigious as it may seem. Their ruleset differs from traditional Thai fighting. It’s considerably easier for a Kickboxing champion in ONE to also secure a Muay Thai title in their organization given their limited roster which often features the same few athletes across both sports.
Winning titles at for example Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand would be far more impressive for that same Kickboxing champion.

What Stamp did was awesome though.
 
Its impressive, but no other promotion holds those 3 sports under the same roof, was it MT, KB and MMA? I remember watching it, they made a big deal about it.
True, but most fighters fight for different promotions throughout their career. Alex Pereira was a kickboxing champ in one promotion, and an MMA champ in another.
 
Overeem was a MMA champion, a kickboxing champion and won the European ADCC. I got shit on the other day because I brought up conversations MMA fans had a decade ago about whether or not anyone else would become a triple crown winner (MMA, grappling and striking titles).

I've still got hope for Aaron Pico.
 
Add Germaine de Randamie to the list, she's also got a bunch of championships in kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Her triple crown pre-dates Stamp's, so I wonder if she was the first woman ever to do that. And who was the first man? Overeem?

What about MMA, grappling, kickboxing and boxing titles, now that would be some achievement, not sure we could ever see that but who knows?
 
She is the promotion's fighter. They kind of give her some favorable matchups. She was a regional fighter in Thailand before they bought her contract. I will admit she is talented and able to pick up some MMA too.

ONE isn't interested in the best fighters. They are interested in building up their stars and telling their story.
