Flyweight Muay Thai contender Diego Paez has learned a significant lesson from his promotional debut against Sean Climaco last February, where he sustained a close split decision defeat at ONE Fight Night 28.
In his recent appearance on Combat Sports Today's YouTube channel for an interview, Paez said that he needs to impose his will and inflict more damage inside the Circle because it would help him win on the judges' scorecards:
"I learned from that and you can't play it safe when you're on the big show. You got to dominate. I know ONE loves damage. Their scoring criteria is damage. So giving off Sean, that was the third time I had fought him. It's always kind of an awkward fight with him."
