Any true-fight fan will be aware of who Anissa Meksen is. Long considered the best pound-for-pound female striker on the planet, she will be more than happy to finally get a crack at gold in the world?s largest martial arts organization.

With a career record of a whopping 103 wins against five losses, she’s an unstoppable beast. Her record includes three dominant wins in ONE, the French-Algerian striker most certainly has the credentials to compete for a World Title on ONE?s global stage.

The 35-year-old has consistently called for a match with Todd throughout her tenure. While she may not have gotten her wish just yet, she could potentially seal it with another win. But, despite ?C18?s? credentials, Phetjeeja shouldn?t be overlooked in any way.?

?The Queen? has done nothing but impress each time she has stepped into action in ONE. After knocking out her first two opponents at ONE Friday Fights, she earned a six-figure contract to compete in the organization?s main roster.?

Phetjeeja isn’t an easy challenge for Meksen

The Thai star didn?t disappoint when she got that shot. She took out former World Title challenger Lara Fernandez with a punishing first-round knockout in her first fight at ONE Fight Night 12 in July and followed that up with a third-round stoppage against Celest Hansen at ONE Fight Night 15 just last month.?

Still only 21, Phetjeeja has amassed an incredible 206-6 career slate, so she will have a wealth of experience and confidence to tap into when she meets Meksen next month. Both women are competing at a completely different level compared to the rest of the pack, and their pairing will no doubt produce an insane battle between two of the best in the world at ONE Friday Fights 46.
