The recently concluded epic battle between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Superbon Singha Mawynn at ONE Friday Fights 46 has been making headlines for its new-found legendary status. The bout, which was for Tawanchai's ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title, saw him and Superbon showcase the highest level of technique and grit in the Art of Eight Limbs.
When the dust settled, it was Tawancha who narrowly got his hand raised and successfully defended his throne. Speaking of technique, ONE uploaded a highlight from the fight that showcased the defending world champion's sneaky tactical striking:
We can't even begin to comprehend how the 24-year-old world champion managed to set up and land that combination. Fans, analysts, and fellow fighters are astounded by his tactical prowess in the video:
Perhaps the most notable comment from the bunch was due to who said it and what was said. It was by none other than ONE strawweight MMA world champion Jarred 'The Monkey God' Brooks, who, as per usual, had a select choice of words to describe the combination:
