FREE FULL FIGHT: Superlek shows off his class in Muay Thai masterpiece against Kongthoranee
Most ONE Championship fans recognize Superlek Kiatmoo9 for his exploits in the world of kickboxing, but he decided to give everyone a reminder that he is just as great in Muay Thai.
At ONE Friday Fights 68 last June 28, Superlek shared the Circle with two-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion and notable striker Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, who was on a seven-fight winning streak.
Inside the hallowed halls of Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, 'The Kicking Machine' and Kongthoranee dazzled fans with their world-class striking for the full three rounds, but there could only be one winner and it was the reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion in Superlek.
Watch the entirety of their explosive three-round encounter below as posted by ONE Championship on YouTube.
This victory gave Superlek his 14th victory in 15 fights under the world's largest martial arts promotion and it has fans excited for his upcoming ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship bout against division kingpin Jonathan Haggerty at ONE 168 on Sept. 6.
Superlek outlines his goals aside from two-sport ONE world champ status at ONE 168
Superlek is raring to claim the upset victory over the two-sport ONE bantamweight world champion, but with ONE 168 happening inside the Ball Arena in Denver, the Thai megastar has a second goal in mind.
In the post-event press conference of ONE Friday Fights 68, Superlek shared how important it is to him that he puts on a strong showing then.
Superlek stated:
"Well, I'm aiming for more fans to know me in the United States and I'm aiming to win against Haggerty on that day."
