ONE Friday Fights 92: “Why shouldn’t I make my debut?”


Multiple muay thai and kickboxing world champion Anissa Meksen revealed that she has been training in mixed martial arts for a long time.

As for ‘C18’, there’s no better time to bite the bullet and make that leap into MMA than now.

Speaking during the ONE Friday Fights 92 virtual press conference, Meksen said she would be happy to take her talents to MMA if the right match offer came along:

“You know I can fight in Muay Thai, kickboxing – it’s all the same to me. But maybe I want to try MMA because I’ve been training MMA for four years, so why not make my debut?”

Fortunately for Anissa Meksen, ONE championship athletes can easily transition into other martial arts disciplines through the stacked divisions of the world’s largest multi-sport martial arts organization.

Needless to say, the French-Algerian superstar could be an immediate contender given her incredible striking pedigree.

Additionally, there are plenty of incredible matches awaiting the 36-year-old striker, should she choose to compete in the atomweight or strawweight division.

The Phuket Fight Club athlete has already competed in Muay Thai and kickboxing under the ONE banner. As it seems, Meksen could very well become the next tri-sport athlete in the promotion.
