Two-sport ONE world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai added another masterful performance to his decorated resume after successfully defending the strawweight Muay Thai world championship in the main event of ONE Fight Night 28 last Friday, Feb. 7.

Showcasing the full extent of his mastery of 'The Art of Eight Limbs', Prajanchai knew the fight was over late in the fourth round when he opened a massive cut on Barboza's left eye.

With a cheeky grin, he pointed at the gash, which the ringside physician immediately checked. Barboza was eventually ruled out from continuing, giving the win to the Thai hero via TKO due to a doctor's stoppage.
