WATCH: Superlek chops down 6-foot-3 Nabil Anane in two minutes with pulverizing body shots

Superlek Kiatmoo9 has been on one of the most impressive win streaks that we have ever seen under the ONE Championship banner.

As he looks to take this to new heights in his return at ONE 168 in Denver, it's time to take a look back at a remarkable performance from 'The Kicking Machine'.

Speaking of heights, the flyweight kickboxing world champion stepped into Muay Thai last year where he took on the towering Nabil Anane.

At 6-foot-3, Anane is a difficult puzzle to solve for a lot of competitors and he has proven this to be the case with some of his wins under the ONE Championship banner.

This wasn't too much of a puzzle for someone as dangerous as Superlek.

At ONE Friday Fights 22 in June of last year, he stopped Anane in the opening round following a devastating combination of punches that the young contender couldn't withstand.

The flyweight champion made this fight look easy and taking on a competitor like Anane is anything but that.

Watch the full fight below:


Superlek will once again need to even the odds at ONE 168

Superlek Kiatmoo9 did an incredible job against Nabil Anane of shutting down his reach advantage by closing the gap on him quickly.

Whilst the height difference will not be so prevalent next time out, the elite Thai striker will need to face a bigger opponent.

Bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty was formerly a flyweight who has now filled out into the frame for his new weight class.

In this incredible clash of champions at ONE Championship's return to the United States, Superlek will look to continue his winning streak by becoming a two-weight world champion in kickboxing. He's beaten the likes of Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Takeru Segawa in his recent fights.

Adding Haggerty to this list could see him achieve recognition as the best in the world today with no close second.

ONE 168 will air live from the Ball Arena in Denver on Sept. 6.
