Seksan Or Kwanmuang may have had his hand raised in victory at ONE 170 last Friday, January 24, but his path to triumph was anything but easy.

'The Man Who Yields To No One' endured a punishing three-round battle against Myanmar’s Soe Lin Oo in their 142.5-pound catchweight Muay Thai showdown, electrifying a sold-out crowd at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

From the opening bell, Seksan wasted no time unleashing a relentless attack. The four-time Muay Thai world champion pressed forward with blistering punches, trapping the Lethwei specialist along the Circle fence before delivering vicious uppercuts, hooks, and elbows in the clinch.

However, this onslaught only brought out the beast in Soe Lin Oo. 'The Man of Steel' retaliated with an unforgiving torrent of blows. But Seksan, true to his nickname, absorbed the damage and responded with his signature aggression, ultimately securing a hard-fought unanimous decision victory.

With this win, the 36-year-old legend improved his career record to 203-75 and pushed his ONE Championship tally to 10-1.


Seksan’s thrilling win at ONE 170 predicted by Johan Ghazali

Before the high-stakes event, one athlete had already predicted the war of attrition between Seksan Or Kwanmuang and Soe Lin Oo.

Rising star Johan Ghazali foresaw a grueling contest and, with near-prophetic accuracy, called the Thai veteran to emerge victorious:

“Seksan against the Burmese guy is going to be a fun scrap. But I don’t see this going any other way than a strong performance from him. I believe he’ll be at his best, ready to go to war to get the win.”

Ghazali himself engaged in a thrilling battle at ONE 170, taking on Johan Estupinan in a flyweight Muay Thai clash between two of the division’s most promising prospects.

But unlike Seksan, the Malaysian-American standout fell short, suffering a unanimous decision loss to the Colombian dynamo.
