With all the success he's currently enjoying, reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing and ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 still can't believe how he accomplished all his achievements. Superlek revealed this during his most recent appearance on Nickynachat's YouTube channel for an interview, where he explained:
"I never thought that I'd make it this far. I was a country kid who never held a million baht before. Then one day, they announced it...I couldn't say anything. It felt like a dream. It's life everything flipped., from night to day."
