WATCH: Featherweight Muay Thai king Tawanchai goes wild on the pitch, showcases his unique footballing style

Tawanchai PK Saenchai is arguably the most lethal kicker in combat sports, but he can also bring that earth-shattering power to the football pitch.

Well, sort of.

It's not uncommon for Muay Thai fighters to play a little game of football once and a while, and Tawanchai is no different.

The reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion recently showed his brand of football against some of his friends and teammates from the famed PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym.

Tawanchai's style, however, was a bit more physical, and most of his kicks weren't even aimed at the ball but instead directed toward his friends.

Even the goalkeeper wasn't safe as Tawanchai launched a rocket that even the world's best shotstoppers would dare deflect.

Tawanchai shared the hilarious video on his Instagram page:

"Foot muay ⚽️🥊"

The Thai superstar has been spending a bit of rest and relaxation after he went through the gauntlet against Jo Nattawut at ONE 167 this past June.

Although Tawanchai retained his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title, fans believed the majority decision ruling could've gone either way.

Tawanchai and Nattawut put on a masterpiece at the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, and the five-round affair left more questions than answers.

Nevertheless, the pair will meet for a third and possibly more definite time at one 169: Atlanta.

Tawanchai will once again defend his throne against Nattawut on November 8 at State Farm Arena.

Jo Nattawut shares his respect with Tawanchai

While some fans still debate the result of Tawanchai's world title win, Jo Nattawut was one to quickly congratulate the reigning world champion.

In a short interview clip ONE Championship Thailand shared, Nattawut said he applauded Tawanchai the moment announcer Dom Lau announced the result of the fight at ONE 167.

Nattawut said:

"When the referee raised his hand, I went in and congratulated Tawanchai and his team. As I remember, I told Tawanchai you're strong and competent and you deserve to be the champion for real."
