"A little bit more patient" - Sean Climaco says he's evolved from a brawler to calculated finisher for ONE Fight Night 31

Following a close split decision victory over Diego Paez in his previous outing at ONE Fight Night 28 last February, Sean Climaco looks to sustain his momentum against Muay Thai phenom Akif Guluzada on May 2 at ONE Fight Night 31.

Climaco and Guluzada will throw hands inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and ahead of their flyweight Muay Thai scrap, the former spoke to ONE Championship for an interview.

According to the Filipino-American slugger, he has developed a more patient and calculated approach in his matches, which he acquired from fighting under the bright lights of the global stage, as he proclaimed:

"I'm still that kind of fighter now, but I'm also a little bit more patient with that now and have more experience."

The 30-year-old athlete looks to improve his ONE Championship record to three wins and one loss, thus earning a more convincing result than his previous bout.
