"Literally breaks their will" - Fans in pure awe of the legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao's chilling dominance
Former two-time ONE strawweight and flyweight Muay Thai and strawweight kickboxing world champion Sam-A Gaiyanghadao has collected a pile of highlight wins in ONE Championship since his promotional debut in 2018.
These finishes were posted by the world's largest martial arts organization recently in an Instagram post. The caption reads:
"Sam-A seeks to DESTROY 💥 Will the Thai legend score another finish against Akram Hamidi on September 27 at ONE Friday Fights 81? @aaa_gaiyanghadao"
The Thai legend's victories over Sergio Wielzen (in May 2018 at ONE: Unstoppable Dreams), Joseph Larisi (in Jan. 2018 at ONE: Global Superheroes), Josh Tonna (in Oct. 2020 at ONE: Reign of Dynasties), Daren Rolland (in Oct. 2019 at ONE: Century Part I), and Ryan Sheehan (in March 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 9) were featured.
Fans were amazed at Sam-A's supremacy against his opponents, as users @choc_o_late_attack, @rene0ade15, @djanmich, and @lightupthisplace commented:
"What the hell does he have in that left"
"Retirement is scared of him🔥👏"
"Strikes like cat, total accuracy yet totally calm and composed 🙏🏼"
"He literally breaks their will 🤯"
Aside from these stoppage victories, the Evolve MMA representative also holds decision wins over Wang Junguang and Rockey Ogden, whom he both defeated unanimously in December 2019 and February 2020, respectively.
