FREE FULL FIGHT: Taiki Naito’s electrifying Muay Thai back-and-forth against Petchdam in Singapore

The fourth victory for Japanese striking sensation Taiki Naito came at the expense of Petchdam Petchyindee when they met in flyweight Muay Thai in September 2021 at ONE: Revolution.

A full fight replay of this exciting matchup between Naito and Petchdam was reposted by ONE Championship on YouTube recently, with the caption:

"Before Japanese striking star Taiki Naito returns to action in a kickboxing showdown with Algerian ace Elias Mahmoudi at ONE Fight Night 24 on Prime Video on August 2, relive his exciting Muay Thai scrap with Thai warrior Petchdam in 2021!"

It was not a good opening round for Naito, as he suffered an early knockdown from a Petchdam left straight punch, which sat him down. That early setback became a wake-up call for the Japanese star because he was more patient in the second round and happy attacking from long range, maximizing his reach advantages.

With the success he has in the second frame, Naito lived up to his moniker of being the 'Silent Sniper', as he happily attacked from the outside and targeted 'The Baby Shark's' lead leg to convince the judges to give him the razor-close split decision win.


Taiki Naito guns for eighth ONE Championship win against Elias Mahmoudi at ONE Fight Night 24

Since that victory over Petchdam, Naito has hit a rough patch. Now, he has the opportunity to add more wins to his tally as he is scheduled to meet Elias Mahmoudi in a flyweight kickboxing match on August 2 at ONE Fight Night 24 at Lumpinee Stadium.

The Bell Wood Fight Team representative looks to bounce back from his previous defeat at the hands of Dedduanglek TDed99 and record his eighth triumph in the world's largest martial arts organization.

ONE Fight Night 24 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America on August 2 during U.S. primetime.
