“I can see his weaknesses” – Tawanchai says he’s cooking up something special for ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut at ONE 167

Tawanchai can see the weaknesses in Jo Nattawut's game, but he's not letting anyone else in on the secret.

Returning to Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, June 7, the Thai superstar will put his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world championship on the line in a highly anticipated rematch with fellow Thai warrior 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut in the ONE 167 co-main event.

Having already gone three rounds with Nattawut in a kickboxing bout last October, Tawanchai is confident that he knows how to handle his rival when they run it back in the art of eight limbs.

"I can see his weaknesses but let’s save it for the match," he told Sportkseeda MMA in an exclusive interview. "You’ll have to wait and see in the ring."

The Thai scored a decisive decision victory over Nattawut in their first meeting. Still, the performance from 'Smokin' Jo' was good enough to justify an opportunity to challenge for the featherweight Muay Thai crown in one of the summer's most intriguing bouts.

Tawanchai ready to continue his hot streak at ONE 167

Tawanchai goes into his third defense of the featherweight Muay Thai crown as perhaps the hottest fighter on the ONE Championship roster.

He has not lost a fight in more than two years, stringing together seven straight wins that include victories over the likes of Saemapetch and former ONE world champions Petchmorakot and Superbon.

In addition to their massive world title clash, fans in attendance and those watching around the world will be treated to the first defense of current ONE atomweight MMA queen Stamp Fairtex as she puts her title on the line against former training partner and friend Denice Zamboanga in the evening's main event.

Which title tilt are you most looking forward to on June 7?
