Speaking to ONE this week about some of the advantages Tawanchai may have over his fellow countryman, the Aussie veteran said:

"Of course, Tawanchai has got more weapons now that this is in Muay Thai. But Jo has a Muay Thai background too. But I still think this plays into Tawanchai's advantage really."

Indeed, Tawanchai comes into the foray with the advantage of being traditionally rooted in Muay Thai compared to his opponent. He is at the prime of his career with over 130 professional wins to his credit and two successful world title defenses in ONE Championship.

As a kickboxer, Tawanchai admitted before that he's building on leveling up his skills up to the point of being a world-class champion. Perhaps Nattawaut only saw 60% of what Tawanchai is capable of.

ONE 167 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
