'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade was let down when his Tiger Muay Thai training partner 'C18' Anissa Meksen was unable to make it to her super fight against Stamp Fairtex.
French-Algerian fighter Anissa Meksen was unable to compete against Fairtex in their scheduled mixed rules super fight. It was originally reported that she was ill, but Meksen would later state that it was due to a family emergency. Fairtex instead found a replacement, Anna 'Supergirl' Jaroonsak, whom she defeated via decision.
Either way, the Brazilian knockout machine 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade was disappointed that we never saw Meksen against Fairtex. In an interview with MMA journalist Volt Lozada of MMA Super Fan, Andrade explained:
"Yeah, I wanted to watch that fight. Anissa's been talking about Stamp and asking for this fight for a long time. So it was a fight that many people were excited about. We all wanted to watch. Of course, it was a bit disappointing to see the fights just not happening."
