The road to superstardom for Thai-Algerian sensation Nabil Anane is now getting harder, as he is being pitted with tough contenders and battle-tested athletes.
In his most recent outing, Anane fought Burmese superstar Soe Lin Oo in a bantamweight Muay Thai match as part of the ONE Friday Fights 81 card last Sept. 27 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The towering 20-year-old fought a very strategic and technical match, as he fully utilized his 6-foot-4 frame to keep Soe Lin at bay for most of the match.
Knowing that the 'Man of Steel' is a heavy puncher (having been able to finish all his previous ONE Championship opponents), Anane fired several long-range kicks and knee strikes to cruise into a comfortable unanimous decision victory.
This latest triumph has extended Anane's win streak to five and maintained his place in the top five rankings of the weight class.
