FREE FULL FIGHT: Flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 flaunts his power and class in KO win over Tagir Khalilov
ONE Championship re-posted the entire footage of Superlek's dominant performance against Tagir Khalilov. In June 2023, Superlek returned to the ONE flyweight Muay Thai division and knocked out Nabil Anane in round one.
Less than a month later, 'The Kicking Machine' made a quick turnaround and fought Khaliov in a catchweight Muay Thai bout in the ONE Fight Night 12 main event.
At the time, the Thai superstar held a promotional Muay Thai record of 7-0. Meanwhile, Khalilov was coming off back-to-back knockout wins and plans to skyrocket his marketability with a win against Superlek.
Unfortunately for Khalilov, 'The Kicking Machine' refused to be denied at ONE Fight Night 12. Superlek battered his Russian opponent in round one before securing a knockout in the second frame.
ONE re-posted Superlek's win against Khalilov on YouTube, which can be seen below by fans who aren't geo-restricted:
Since then, Superlek has solidified himself as one of the most dangerous strikers in ONE Championship. The ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion is riding a legendary three-fight run after defeating Rodtang (Muay Thai), Takeru Segawa (kickboxing), and Kongthoranne (Muay Thai).
'The Kicking Machine' has accomplished plenty throughout his career. With that said, the 28-year-old could only be getting started, as he's preparing for a massive opportunity to become a two-sport world champion.
Superlek plans to become two-sport world champion at ONE 168: Denver
In Sept. 2023, Superlek missed weight for his fight against Rodtang, making him ineligible for the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title. A year later, 'The Kicking Machine' has an opportunity to become a champion in 'The Art of Eight Limbs.'
On Sept. 6, the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion will challenge bantamweight Muay Thai king Jonathan Haggerty. The must-see fight between Superlek and 'The General' goes down in the ONE 168: Denver main event.
ONE 168 represents the promotion's return to North America. The stacked fight card goes down inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Tickets for the highly-anticipated event featuring two world title fights can be seen on Ticketmaster.
