Kongchai Chanaidonmueang was at his ferocious best in his strawweight Muay Thai rematch against Chokpreecha PK Saenchai, which served as the main event of ONE Friday Fights 108.
While he cruised to a comfortable unanimous decision win over the PK Saenchai Muaythaigym affiliate in November last year, the Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai world champion was up against a much more fearsome opponent in this redo inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on May 16.
Chokpreecha trimmed the distance well and attacked with power and trickery for much of round one. But Kongchai was just as game to fire away with his weapons.
After high-octane action in the first couple of minutes, the 22-year-old started to take charge and closed out the round with a slicing elbow that opened his Thai compatriot.

He continued fighting fire with fire in round two, and his near-perfect timing set him up for a brilliant three-punch combination, which proved to be the match-winning moment that brought an end to the entertaining scrap at just 26 seconds of the frame.
Kongchai's victory took him to 75-15 in his career.
Other "Art of Eight Limbs" wizards who picked up pivotal wins on the latest installment of ONE Friday Fights include Longern Sor Sommai, Aekkalak Sor Samarngarment, Pet Suanluangrodyok, and Tengnueng Fairtex.
In the pair of MMA bouts that kicked off the show, Alexandre Khan emerged victorious in his featherweight tussle against Yovanis Decroz via a second-round arm-triangle choke submission.
Meanwhile, Ruslan Arslangereev needed less than a minute to finish Bismarck Gomes via rear-naked choke in their welterweight tiff inside the Mecca of Muay Thai.
