Prajanchai is beyond pleased by how things have played out for him and his longtime PK Saenchai Muaythaigym stablemate Tawanchai since the turn of the year.

The former kept his status as a two-division ONE world champion with a striking clinic to dispatch British slugger Ellis Badr Barboza and defend his strawweight Muay Thai crown at ONE Fight Night 28 last week.

On the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion's end, Tawanchai picked up arguably the biggest highlight-reel win of his career by putting Superbon down and out in round two to successfully protect his throne against the two-sport chasing kickboxing champ at ONE 170 last month.

In a post-fight interview with the South China Morning Post, Prajanchai revealed that spirits in the gym have been elevated since Tawanchai's victory, and his bonus-winning display ought to only take it a notch higher.

He went on to add how their success from last year also led to an increased amount of attendees at their famed dojo in Bang Kho Laem in Bangkok, Thailand.

Prajanchai shared:

"Yes, the vibes at the gym is very great because we are at the top now. And there are a lot of foreigners right now who are interested to train Muay Thai. So they'd come, although they are different levels, if they wanna spar with me, I'd let them spar with me. You know, just kinda play around. It's been fun. It's been great. I'm very happy for the start of this year."
