ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 earned the nickname 'The Kicking Machine' for a reason. Being born and raised in a country where the national sport centers around kicking all day, that monicker bears so much more weight. He is the supreme kicker amongst lethal kickers.

In a video posted on Superlek Kiatmoo9's Instagram account, we got to see why he earned his nickname.

Here's the video:

Watching the video alone without the audio is enough to help you understand why Superlek's kicks are legendary. The speed and technique of the kicks, together with how the padholder's body shakes upon impact, tells you how strong those kicks are.

Listening to the audio, however, makes you seriously worried for the well-being of whoever is on the receiving end of the world champ's thunderous roundhouse kicks. They can easily rearrange your insides with just one hit.


Superlek Kiatmoo9 to defend ONE kickboxing world title against Rodtang Jitmuangnon

In one of the most exciting bouts put together in Muay Thai's recent history, Superlek Kiatmoo9 will will face the legendary against Rodtang Jitmuangnon.

On Friday, March 24, Superlek will put his newly-won ONE flyweight kickboxing world title against the dominant ONE flyweight Muay Thai king in the co-headlining spot of ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video.

The two legendary Thai warriors have a combined 486 professional fights between them. That's unheard of. Despite nearly cleaning out the entire roster of Muay Thai for many years, however, it's quite surprising that 'The Kicking Machine' and 'The Iron Man' have never faced each other.

Superlek has an impressive 132-29-4 pro record with wins over standouts Muangthai PK.Saenchai, Daniel Puertas, Jonathan Haggerty, and Rodtang's own teammate, Panpayak Jitmuangnon, whom he beat twice.

Rodtang is looking to conquer a new sport after terrorizing ONE's flyweight Muay Thai ranks. Boasting a ridiculous 270-42-10 pro record, the 25-year-old Muay Thai monster is considered the no.1 pound-for-pound fghter in the world by renowned Thai publication The Nation.

'The Iron Man' hasn't seen the losing column in ONE Muay Thai and has steamrolled every fighter that's been put in front of him.

Fans in North America can catch ONE Fight Night 8 in U.S. primetime on March 24 live and for free on Prime Video with an Amazon subscription.
