ONE Fight Night 17: Jo Nattawut and Niclas Larsen agree to lock horns in explosive featherweight Muay Thai clash

Before Tawanchai and Superbon look to take each other’s heads off in the main event of ONE Fight Night 17, another exciting featherweight Muay Thai clash has been confirmed for the developing card.

On December 9, the hallowed grounds of Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium will play host to vicious strikers ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut and Niclas Larsen in a three-round encounter.

A veteran of 83 career professional fights, ONE fans are no strangers to Nattawut’s body of work in ‘The Art of Eight Limbs’.

The Thai Top Team product moved to the United States in 2013, where he further sharpened the Muay Thai skills he honed in his homeland. As such, the 34-year-old developed a unique style that blends traditional Muay Thai with Westernized kickboxing.

‘Smokin’ Jo has split his first 10 bouts under the ONE banner, and would certainly love to end his current three-fight slide. It is worth noting that those losses came against world-class competition in the form of reigning featherweight kickboxing king Chingiz Allazov, Jamal Yusupov, and Tawanchai.

Despite his most recent setback against the reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion, Nattawut delivered an impressive performance and had his moments against the sensational Tawanchai at ONE Fight Night 15 earlier this month.

Niclas Larsen, on the other hand, is also on the hunt for redemption. ‘Dreamchaser’ has yet to score that elusive W in his first three matches under the banner of the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Still, fans know the 34-year-old Danish star has a lot to offer given his technical striking brilliance. With his back against the wall, we can expect Larsen to throw everything but the kitchen sink against the veteran Jo Nattawut.
