“I haven't achieved all of my goals” - Superlek reveals the only thing keeping him from making MMA transition

Reigning ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 made a shocking revelation. The 29-year-old all-striking phenom has expressed his interest in transitioning to the all-encompassing sport of mixed martial arts in the near future.

Superlek wants to become an MMA fighter and conquer a whole new realm. Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Superlek talked about moving on from Muay Thai and Kickboxing and joining the global MMA ranks instead.

'The Kicking Machine' said:

"In the future, if there’s no challenge in Muay Thai and kickboxing for me anymore, I want to try MMA. I've always thought about it, but right now, I can't do that because I haven't achieved all of my goals in Muay Thai and kickboxing, which is to become a two-sport and two-division world champion."

Needless to say, fans would love to see Superlek in the MMA cage one day, and if he can learn to grapple, there's no telling what the Thai megastar can achieve.
