ONE Friday Fights 92 results and recap: Anissa Meksen vs Kana Morimoto

Anissa Meksen reminded everyone she's still one of the best female strikers in the world with a phenomenal performance at ONE Friday Fights 92: Sitthichai vs Shadow on Dec. 20.

'C18' took the promotional debutant Kana Morimoto in a three-round atomweight kickboxing bout inside 'The Mecca of Muay Thai' Lumpinee Stadium.

Meksen displayed her blistering speed as soon as the bell rang and ran circles around Kana with her impeccable footwork.

The French-Algerian tactician masterfully used her reach advantage and peppered the Japanese star with razor-fast combinations from a safe distance.

Kana grew more aggressive in the second frame where she tried to bridge the gap and deliver damage from close range.

The crafty Meksen, however, was one step ahead. The seven-time Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion kept her at bay with stinging jabs and disrupted her momentum with well-placed kicks and knees whenever Kana got too close.

Knowing she was behind the judges' scorecards, Kana kept pushing forward and tried to find a home for her wild hooks.

Unfortunately for 'Krusher Queen', Meksen had her read like a book and continued punishing the ONE debutant with nasty punch and kick combinations en route to a dominant unanimous decision victory.

The sweet victory bucked Meksen's ugly two-fight skid and improved her ONE record to 4-2.
