Want to see what 700 fights between two fighters look like? Watch the ONE Championship strawweight Muay Thai title bout between then-champ Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and current champ Prajanchai P.K. Saenchaimuaythaigym.
The bout happened last year at ONE: Battleground and it showcased the highest level Muay Thai one could ever see. It was like listening to jazz for the first time. It's amazing, but our novice minds couldn't possibly comprehend the intricacies of it.
The two battled in the Muay Thai equivalent of a highly cerebral chess match. The pair were nearly perfectly matched as they almost canceled each other out. If not for the knockdown scored by Prajanchai, the match would have likely been a draw.
