ONE Fight Night 12 Preview: Superlek Kiatmoo9 Continues Chase for Muay Thai Gold

Thailand's Superlek Kiatmoo9 is already the reigning ONE Championship flyweight kickboxing titleholder, but he's hoping to work his way to top status in the sport of muay Thai, as well.

As the current No. 1-ranked contender in ONE Championship's flyweight muay Thai division, that opportunity may not be too far off. But "The Kicking Machine" isn't interested in simply waiting around. With that in mind, the 27-year-old Kiatmoo9 Gym representative returns to action at this weekend's ONE Fight Night 12 event in Bangkok, where he takes on Russian striker Tagir Khalilov in the night's main event.

With more than 130 career wins to his name, Superlek is considered one of the best strikers on the planet, beginning his competitive career at just 8 years old. He made his way to the ONE Championship roster in 2019 and has built an impressive 10–1 record in the promotion, including victories in his past six appearances.
