"The King of Muay Thai" - Fans glad to witness Superlek Kiatmoo9's unstoppable rise to champ-champ status in the U.S.

Fans showered Superlek with praise in the comments section for his latest achievement:

"Amazing fighter. His fighting IQ is out of this world 👏👏👏"

"Bring him back!🔥"

"The King Of Muay Thai⚡🇹🇭"

"U.S. fans appreciate Real Muay Thai! Superlek on his way up [to] superstar status 🇹🇭🤫⚡🤟🏽"

"He is from a higher level, and I think he still can get better."

Superlek's 49-second knockout of 'The General', who still holds the ONE bantamweight kickboxing world championship, is undoubtedly one of the greatest performances of his famed career.

Superlek not convinced with his achievements yet

Now reigning as the ONE flyweight kickboxing and bantamweight Muay Thai world champion, Superlek further cemented himself as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. However, he does not see things that way just yet.

Speaking with Nick Atkin, the 28-year-old stated:

"I don't think I'm quite there yet. I think that I still have ways to go in terms of getting used to the rule set of ONE, fighting with an exciting style to really bring my style of Muay Thai to the rest of the world."
