Jo Nattawut makes a quick turnaround for Tawanchai trilogy at ONE 169: Atlanta
Just six weeks after his epic showdown with Superbon, 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut will be locked in for a ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title matchup with titleholder Tawanchai PK Saenchai at ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8.
The 35-year-old's match against Tawanchai will be the pair's third meeting on the global stage of the promotion after a pair of back-and-forth wars over the past 12 months.
Jo Nattawut took the first fight on short notice, and despite putting in a valiant effort, he ultimately fell short to the divisional king's striking clinic.
The Thais locked horns again at ONE 167 this past June. And though Tawanchai secured the majority decision after a thrilling 15-minute contest, many felt that 'Smokin' Jo deserved to get his hand raised after giving the PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym man a run for his money until the final bell.
