"Absolutely animal" - Fans equal parts hyped and shocked for Soe Lin Oo's improbable recovery to face Seksan at ONE 170

Soe Lin Oo has lived up to his moniker of 'Man of Steel' after ONE Championship recently announced that his catchweight Muay Thai battle with the legendary Seksan Or Kwanmuang is now officially back on at ONE 170 on Jan. 24 inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

This announcement was posted by the world's largest martial arts organization on their Instagram account, with the caption:

"BACK ON 🔥 After a car accident initially cancelled the fight, Soe Lin Oo has been medically cleared for competition and is ready to face Seksan at ONE 170 💪 Can "Man of Steel" pick up his biggest win on January 24? @seksan_or_kwanmuang999"

The Burmese striking sensation figured in a car accident a few weeks back in his home country of Myanmar, which forced him out of the match with the Thai icon. However, he recovered from the incident faster than expected, so he got the medical clearance to compete again.

This amazing recuperation by Soe Lin has simultaneously hyped and shocked the fans, especially users @Arkar._.m, @aunggyh_99, @dastin_ss, @rylan_gutz, and @mmm_muaythai, who sent their reactions through their comments:

"Soe Lin Oo is absolutely animal 🔥"

"There's a reason why they call him Man of Steel"

"The Car was dead!"

"Dayum, Soe Lin Oo is a beast 🔥"

"Ok so after car accident he's back for Seksan. He's standing with his nickname for sure :)"

Soe Lin Oo looks to return to the win column after losing his previous fight with Nabil Anane

In his most recent bout, the Doe Loe Lar Lethwei Club representative absorbed a tough unanimous decision loss at the hands of 6-foot-4 phenom Nabil Anane last Sept. 27 at ONE Friday Fights 81.

However, Soe Lin is now eager to return to the winner's circle with a win over Seksan and score the biggest win of his professional career.
