Muay Thai action star Thongpoon PK Saenchai of Thailand has built a reputation as one of the most ultra-aggressive and offense-oriented fighters in ONE Championship.
His body of work in the world's largest martial arts organization certainly speaks for itself. The man does not know how to take a step backward and always likes to push the pace, forcing his foes to engage.
But against his next opponent, Thongpoon believes he may have to alter his style ever so slightly.
The PK Saenchai representative is set to face multi-sport combat athlete and former ONE world title challenger 'Mini T' Danial Williams of Australia, and Thongpoon says he needs to be extra careful.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Thongpoon says that because of Williams' well-versed fighting skills, he is a tricky guy to face in the ring.
The 27-year-old star said:
"Needless to say, [Williams] has experience in all disciplines, whether it’s MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai. He’s fast. He has kickboxing footwork. If I was fighting him with my old style, I wouldn’t have a chance. I had to change my fighting style. I’m going to try to force him into the corner and hurt him."
Thongpoon can't wait to face Williams and put on a show, but he will do so in a more calculated manner for this fight.
