FREE FULL FIGHT: Young legend Sitthichai goes through the gauntlet against Tawanchai in Muay Thai thriller

Combat sports fans all over the world have flocked to ONE Championship to witness the best Muay Thai fighters in the world and one bout that still lingers in their mind is that of Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong taking on Tawanchai PK Saenchai at ONE: Battleground 3 in August 2021.

Ahead of the bout, Tawanchai was just coming off a sensational head kick knockout of Sean Clancy in his promotional debut while Sitthichai had just been defeated by Superbon Banchamek the year prior.

Despite their friendship, Tawanchai and Sitthichai were nowhere near ready to give up any inch to the other as a win was all that mattered to them.

Over the course of three rounds and nine minutes of non-stop action, fans saw the very best fighters give it their all as both men threw punches, elbows, knees and kicks with full power in the hopes of landing a knockout victory.

Though there was no finish, the three-round war was a certainly difficult one to judge as the eventual winner was awarded the win via split decision and it was going to be the legendary Sitthichai who left the Singapore Indoor Stadium with the win.
