Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand says he feels an intrinsic responsibility to showcase the beauty of ‘the art of eight limbs’ to the world.
As one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of his era, Superlek will get the chance to do just that and wow American audiences with his unique brand of violence next weekend.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Superlek says he is excited to show fans in the United States what real Muay Thai looks like.
‘The Kicking Machine’ stated:
“I’m going to the U.S. with the position as Thailand’s representative. It’s important to me to do my best – to not disappoint the Thai fans and to showcase Muay Thai skills in the U.S.”
‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9 is set to challenge two-sport king ‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty of the United Kingdom for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai gold.
The two lock horns at ONE 168: Denver, which broadcasts live from the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, on Friday, September 6.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free on Amazon Prime Video. Limited tickets are still available for purchase via Ticketmaster.
Superlek thankful for American fans’ support: “I was amazed by the crowd cheering for the Thai athletes”
Superlek Kiatmoo9 witnessed just how American fans embraced Thai fighters in ONE Championship’s first foray on U.S. soil last year with ONE Fight Night 10.
The 28-year-old Bangkok native is thankful for the warm reception and is looking forward to experiencing the same at ONE 168: Denver next weekend.
