As a two-sport world champion, Prajanchai PK Saenchai has a lot of weight on his shoulders to show out and perform consistently on the biggest stage.

But he revealed his secret on rising to the occasion and not letting it get into his head.

In a recent interview with the world's largest martial arts organization, Prajanchai shared that letting go of the pressure eases his job in competing inside the ring, as he explained:

"If you ask me if I feel any pressure, I don't. The more pressure you give yourself, the more you overthink, but you really can't do anything. You need to let go of it and not let the pressure overwhelm you. Just let go. Let go of it."
