"They're my top 2" - Fans equally split in the middle ahead of looming super fight between Tawanchai, Superbon at ONE 170

Two Thai superstars collided in December 2023 at ONE Fridays Fights 46, as Tawanchai PK Saenchai defended his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title against Superbon inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Highlights of this see-saw battle were recently reposted by ONE Championship on Instagram:

"Precision vs. Power! 💥 Who will come out on top and claim the featherweight Muay Thai strap in the rematch between Tawanchai and Superbon at ONE 170? @tawanchay_pk @superbon_banchamek"

Tawanchai and Superbon had their respective moments in the match, with both flaunting their power and technical skills on the global stage. In the end, the former eked out a majority decision win over the latter to retain his status as the division's undisputed king.

Over a year after that instant classic, the two striking maestros have crossed paths again, and they will be headlining the ONE 170 card on Jan. 24 at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Ahead of this world championship rematch, fans have locked in their picks with users @siv_gee, @cmayura11, @jfurneyc3, @asafooshh, @romzey81, @shida_honda_ns, @teesoe1949, and @chamanexperience commenting on the post:
