Fairtex has been carrying a healthy form, winning 2 out of her last 3 bouts. She was subjected to a last-minute change of opponent as her ONE Fight Night 6 rival, Anissa Meksen, refused to attend the pre-fight weigh-ins. Fairtex still got the better of her new opponent, Anna ‘Supergirl’ Jaroonsak, in the Strawweight kickboxing bout with a unanimous decision victory.
Her bouts prior to her ONE Fight Night 6 bore a 1-1 result for her. Fairtex defeated Jihin Radzuan in an Atomweight MMA match by a unanimous decision. Her position as ONE’s top-ranked atom weight MMA contender was confirmed by the victory.
Her most recent loss came in the ONE Atomweight MMA title fight against the coveted ‘Unstoppable’ Angela Lee, in 2022. It will be pertinent to note whether Fairtex manages to shine in her next bout despite the frequent changes in her combat discipline.
Alyse Anderson will eye an upset in the Demetrious Johnson vs Andriano Mores headliner
Anderson hasn’t been on the run of her dreams lately. The 6-2 record-holding American currently is on one win and one loss in her previous couple of bouts. Her latest bout ended with her submitting her Indian opponent, Asha Roka, with a first-round triangle choke. However, Anderson also tasted defeat in her previous bout as she was defeated by Japan’s, Itsuki Hirata, via unanimous decision.
Anderson currently doesn’t hold a place in the top 5 Atomweights of ONE. This makes her victory against Fairtex more valuable as she would eye a spot on the top 5 list.
The card will be headlined by the coveted trilogy fight between reigning champion Demetrious ‘Might Mouse’ Johnson and Adriano ‘Mikinho’ Moraes for the ONE Flyweight World Championship. Both the fighters stand at a 1-1 equilibrium currently with Moraes gaining the upper hand over Johnson in their first bout. But, the widely considered GOAT, Demetrious Johnson avenged his loss in an almost perfect way at their second outing.
The UFC star, Sage Northcutt, will also make his return after his infamous knockout loss against Cosmo Alexander. He has been matched up against Pakistan’s Ahmed Mujtaba for a lightweight MMA bout.
You surely wouldn’t like to miss out on the action of ONE Fight Night 10 on Amazon Prime Video.
