Thai knockout artist Sinsamut Klinmee plans on delivering something truly special this Friday night. Set to return to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on Oct. 4, the Venum Training Camp athlete will seek his fifth win under the ONE Championship banner and 83rd overall when he goes toe-to-toe in a lightweight Muay Thai tilt with Youssef Assouik at ONE Fight Night 25.
Sinsamut's run in ONE has been a tale of ups and downs. Kickstarting his campaign with back-to-back wins, he lost two straight against ONE lightweight Muay Thai world champion Regian Eersel before bouncing back with two more wins.
In his last outing at ONE Fight Night 22, he came up short against Dmitry Menshikov. He was knocked out in the third round of that fight.

Now, the Pattaya-based warrior is determined to climb back into the win column inside the Mecca of Muay Thai and do it in spectacular fashion. He told ONE Championship:
"It's very important, but I won't put too much pressure on myself...I haven't thought about getting a bonus for this fight yet. I just want to win with style first."
Sinsamut meets a potential contender in Youssef Assouik at ONE Fight Night 25
Hoping to make a name for himself at Sinsamut's expense at ONE Fight Night 25 is Youssef Assouik — a ONE Championship debutant who has been nothing short of impressive in his endeavors outside of the Circle.
The Denmark-based Moroccan has already captured a slew of titles across Europe and the Middle East, including a win over former ONE world title challenger Jimmy Vienot to capture a WMC world title.
Now, the former two-division ISKA champion has 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold in his crosshairs, but he'll have to go through one of the lightweight division's gatekeepers if he hopes to earn his shot at the top prize in Muay Thai.
ONE Fight Night 25 will air live via Amazon Prime Video in the United States and Canada on Friday, Oct. 4 at U.S. primetime.
