FREE FULL FIGHT: The electrifying first meeting between Thai super strikers Tawanchai and Jo Nattawut in Bangkok

There is a certain magic in the air when two world-class fighters face each other and ONE Championship fans were treated to one such occasion between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and 'Smokin'' Jo Nattawut.

The ONE featherweight Muay Thai world titlist and No. 3-ranked featherweight Muay Thai fighter shared the Circle for the first time last October 6 at ONE Fight Night 15 in a kickboxing clash.

Despite Nattawut's status as a short-notice replacement fighter, Nattawut stepped up to the plate and delivered one of the toughest challenges that Tawanchai had to face in his career.

Both men had reasons to believe that they had secured the victory, but in the eyes of the judges, Tawanchai just did a little bit more than his fellow Thai star and left the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand with the unanimous decision win.
