Sangmanee isn’t taking Kulabdam lightly ahead of highly anticipated rematch

'The Million Dollar Baby' Sangmanee PK.Saenchai is seeking revenge when he competes in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 2 on January 27 at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.

The headlining match will see Kulabdam 'Left Meteorite' Sor. Jor. Piek Uthai looking to repeat his stunning knockout success while Sangmanee seeks to avenge his 2020 loss.

The 24-year-old Kulabdam is a two-time Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai world champion while Sangmanee is impressively a four-time Muay Thai world champion, holding a record of 186-34-6 at just the age of 25.

Recalling his first match against Kulabdam, Sangmanee spoke to ONE in an interview and explained his new game,:

"Many of my weaknesses in the game have been fixed. I’ve been training more on my speed and self-defense, as well as my other weapons. My trainer has also watched that clip to see how to adjust the game plan, and we got a plan for better defense and counterattacks."

In the main event showdown, the 25-year-old Thai striker stressed that he must be careful due to the power of his opponent:

"I admit that Kulabdam has made a lot of improvements in his skills as well. His punch is absolutely dangerous, but now, I see that he has added leg kicks and other weapons that are just as scary. So, I won’t be careless."
