ONE Muay Thai sensation Saemapetch Fairtex has proven time and again that he is not to be taken lightly with his second ONE bout being the perfect example. On Nov. 23, 2018, Saemapetch figured in a bantamweight Muay Thai clash with Alaverdi Ramazanov at ONE: Conquest of Champions at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
Though 'Babyface Killer' was able to land some hard hits against Saemapetch, the Fairtex Training Center Product did not let up on his offense as he strung together combos and was declared the winner via unanimous decision for his efforts.
Check out their three-round war which ONE Championship posted on YouTube and can be watched in full below.

Since then, Saemapetch has proven to be a must-watch fighter who has won four of his nine fights by way of a finish and is currently ranked as the No. 4 bantamweight Muay Thai fighter.
Saemapetch's ONE Fight Night 23 opponent questions his durability
Saemapetch will be back in action at ONE Fight Night 23 on July 5 inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand against Nico Carrillo - the top-ranked fighter in the bantamweight Muay Thai division.
'The King of the North' is on a three-fight winning streak of his own and while Saemapetch has the advantage of veteran experience, Carrillo believes his durability is already shot.
Carrillo said as much in an interview with the Sky Sports MMA Club:
"Just based on his last fight and the fight before, he went down with ease. It looked kinda like that, at least. He looked like he got scared a little bit. And I say this about his chin as well because he has been dropped many times. And I have not."
ONE Fight Night 23 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
