ONE featherweight Muay Thai king Tawanchai PK Saenchai showed off his technical skills against Jo Nattawut during their first match at ONE Fight Night 15 in October 2023.
Recently, ONE Championship reposted a breakdown of Tawanchai's combination, where he used a feint as a starting point of his attack. The promotion wrote in the video's caption:
"Mastermind in the ring 🥊🔥 Can Tawanchai defend his throne once again against "Smokin" Jo Nattawut at ONE 169: Atlanta? @tawanchay_pk"

In that sequence, the 25-year-old striking maestro hit 'Smokin' Jo with a solid body kick and left straight combination, sending him flying backward and almost knocking him down.
This incredible showing of top-flight technical skills gained high praise from fans, especially from users @maviakhan62, @warthumbs, @a.funnyusername, @ilija.petrusic.73, and @rapperjayt, who commented:
"Brutal Mentality"
"This man is sick 🥶"
"Crazy combo on gawwwdd"
"Master of Muay T."
"Dude move like a game character"
Eventually, the first meeting between Tawanchai and Nattawut resulted in a unanimous decision win for the former. But because of their exciting back-and-forth action, they were re-booked in June 2024 at ONE 167 for Tawanchai's ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title.
Another classic fight was produced by the Thai superstars, but Tawanchai once again escaped with a majority decision nod from the judges to retain his 26-pound golden belt.
Tawanchai and Jo Nattawut booked for a third fight at ONE 169: Atlanta
Due to the see-saw battle that everyone witnessed in their rematch, the world's largest martial arts organization once again booked another fight between Tawanchai and Nattawut on November 8 at ONE 169: Atlanta, which will take place inside the State Farm Arena.
