Superlek Kiatmoo9 may be in the form of his life but that doesn't mean he can't keep on looking ahead to the future.
The elite Thai competitor has been considered to be one of the best in the world for some time thanks to his impressive wins and skill level.
However, his current run can rival that of anyone else's when you look at the names he has defeated and the manner of his performances.
ONE 168 was his most destructive display to date as he won the bantamweight Muay Thai world championship by stopping Jonathan Haggerty inside the opening minute.

Unsurprisingly, his main event display earned him a performance bonus from the ONE Championship boss, Chatri Sityodtong.
Rather than having anything materialistic in mind as a celebration of this victory, the new champion immediately turned his attention to how this money will help him to lay foundations for the future through the gym that he had been working to establish back home.
He said in his post-fight interview:
"I want to thank Chatri Sityodtong for giving me the opportunity. The money that I have won today will go towards my gym, Superlek Gym in Bangkok. I will use this money to support all of the people that are training at my gym. Thank you so much."
Superlek is a fantastic role model to follow
With this run of performances that he's currently on, Superlek is going to inspire a lot of young people to pursue their dreams, whether it's in combat sports or not.
'The Kicking Machine' is the gold standard when it comes to representing his sport and country when you look at his performances and his character.
With the money that he has been able to earn thanks to his incredible displays inside the Circle, he's also going to be able to give these people a place where they can train and dedicate themselves just like he has.
Superlek may be considered to be one of the best in the world but he's not slowing down anytime soon.
The full replay of ONE 168 is available on demand for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
