Fight Breakdown

Jade Jorand is a decorated French striker with a strong background in Muay Thai and kickboxing. She thrives on keeping opponents at range, using her footwork and technical combinations to outpoint them. Fighting in front of her home crowd in Nantes will no doubt add to her motivation.

Sammy-Jo Luxton, meanwhile, comes into this bout with a reputation for heavy hands and aggressive Muay Thai. Known as “The Queen of Violence” on the regional scene, Luxton is at her most dangerous when she can pressure her opponents. She will look to cut off Jorand’s movement and make it a brawl.

Her last win came when she beat Agata Truskolaska in just 18-seconds at Full Contact Contender (FCC 37) in Liverpool.
