Tiffany van Soest failed to defend her belt.
The professional kickboxer and MMA fighter was outpointed by veteran Anissa Meksen at Glory 48 Superfight Series, thus losing her women’s super bantamweight title. The event, which aired on UFC Fight Pass, took place on Friday night at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Although van Soest lost a unanimous decision with the judges scoring the title bout in Meksen’s favor (49-46, 49-46, 48-47), “Time Bomb” waged a competitive fight against Meksen. All five rounds were fairly close. Van Soest seemed to land the more significant punches, but Meksen struck more often, landing plenty of leg kicks against van Soest.
