Anissa “C18” Meksen is just days away from the biggest – and most interesting – fight of her career. At ONE Fight Night 6: Superbon vs. Allazov on Prime Video this Friday, January 13, the seven-time Kickboxing and Muay Thai World Champion takes on Stamp Fairtex in a mixed-rules bout featuring four rounds that will alternate between MMA and Muay Thai.

While she’s heavily fixated on perfecting her all-around arsenal for the highly anticipated clash inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, Meksen has also been playing some mind games with the Thai fighter in the lead-up.

Anissa Meksen implied that ONE Championship had made up Stamp Fairtex

In the latest verbal war between the two atomweight stars, Meksen claimed that the #1-ranked atomweight MMA contender only made her name when she joined the Singapore-based promotion. “Before [Stamp] entered ONE Championship, I’m sorry to say it, but she was nothing. She had no title, no fame, and when she entered ONE, ONE built her, built her career,” the 34-year-old said.
