Stamp Fairtex vs Anissa Meksen showdown

This mixed rules super-fight will see an MMA fighter with a background in Muay Thai face a decorated kickboxer and Muay Thai athlete. Similar to the matchup featuring Demetrious Johnson vs Rodtang Jitmuangnon, the rounds will cycle between MMA and Muay Thai rules.

Stamp Fairtex is a former two-sport world champion in ONE, having held world titles in both Muay Thai and Kickboxing. The 24-year-old Thai athlete transitioned to full-time MMA and has put together an impressive record of 8-2. The Thai-born athlete's next bout will be an MMA fight against Jihin Radzuan at ONE on Prime Video 2 on September 30.

Anissa Meksen is a well-accomplished kickboxer and Muay Thai fighter, having held world titles in GLORY Kickboxing, ISKA, WAKO, and others. The French-Algerian fighter currently holds a perfect record in ONE Championship with two dominant victories. Her next fight is scheduled for September 30 at ONE on Prime Video 2 against Dangkongfah Banchamek. She has no experience in professional MMA.

'C18' has made her intentions in ONE clear, she wants gold. In an interview with ONE Championship, Meksen said:

“My objective is crystal clear — win the ONE kickboxing and Muay Thai belts. The more time passes by, the bigger the urge grows, actually. I know if I can win and bring those belts home, it will clearly be a highlight in my career. I’ve traveled the world, [won] 18 different titles and, honestly, those are the two that I’m missing to top it all off.”
