The Thai ONE Champion, 31, has proven himself to be an incredible talent. He controls fights with a range of kicks. Furthermore, training alongside all-time great Buakaw has pushed him into greatness.

Thai-born Buakaw is a certified legend in the sport. He retired with an incredible record of 239-29-12 and holds a long list of accolades including multiple K-1 titles, Muay Thai Stadium titles, multiple WBC Muay Thai titles, a Shoot Boxing title, and many more.

Buakaw retired in 2019 but was considered an all-time great of Muay Thai and kickboxing well before his official retirement.
