Since coming on board ONE Championship in June last year, Nabil Anane has established himself as a technical fighter, but has also shown uncanny power in some of his outings. ONE Championship highlighted this facet of the 20-year-old's game in a carousel of videos on Instagram.
The post came ahead of Anane's return to action at ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov on Dec. 6 in Thailand. Included in the Instagram post were potent punches, elbows, knees and kicks he utilized in his victories over Thais Nakrob Fairtex, Muangthai PK Saenchai and Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai, Brazilian Felipe Lobo and Burmese Soe Lin Oo.

The same kind of variety and effectiveness is exactly what Nabil Anane is looking to showcase once again at ONE Fight Night 26 against former bantamweight kickboxing world champion Petchtanong Petchfergus, who is seeking to make it back-to-back wins since returning from a nearly two-year hiatus in June.
ONE Fight Night 26 will take place at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok and air live and for free at U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Danial Williams sees Nabil Anane being a handful for Petchtanong at ONE Fight Night 26
Nabil Anane may not be as seasoned as upcoming ONE Fight Night 26 opponent Petchtanong Petchfergus, but he should be a handful come fight night. At least that's what Thai-Australian fighter Daniel Williams believes, as he made his thoughts known on the marquee bantamweight kickboxing match.
"Mini T' shared this in an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, touting 20-year-old Anane's age and aggresiveness as the things working for him against former bantamweight king Petchtanong, 39.
He said:
"I think this will be hard for him (Petchtanong) because Nabil is young, and he's gonna be aggressive. At the same time, Petchtanong has one of the best IQs in the game, so I can't count him out. But Nabil's the new blood in town."
Incidentally, Williams, too, will feature at ONE Fight Night 26 in a strawweight Muay Thai clash against Thongpoon PK Saenchai.
