WATCH: Superlek gives a step-by-step breakdown of his history-defining elbow that smoked Jonathan Haggerty in Denver

Two-sport king Superlek Kiatmoo9 recently shared the secret behind one of his deadliest weapons — his elbow strike.

Fans were given a rare opportunity to witness the execution of this lethal move when the Thai superstar hosted a Muay Thai seminar at Evolve MMA’s Far East Square branch in Singapore earlier this month.

During the seminar, “The Kicking Machine” broke down the technique in detail, with ONE Championship capturing the demonstration in a video shared on Instagram:

The user @ironforce85 couldn’t contain the excitement, praising Superlek’s skill in the comment section of the clip:

“Impeccable timing. That is lightning-speed precision.”

The enthusiasm is well-founded, as Superlek’s elbow strike played a crucial role in his stunning victory over Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship at ONE 168: Denver this past September.

That matchup in “The Mile High City” was expected to be a tough battle, but Superlek’s precision and mastery of timing stole the show.

As Haggerty launched a straight right hand, Superlek ducked under the punch, countering with a perfectly executed elbow.

The impact was immediate and devastating, sending Haggerty crashing to the canvas. Though the British striker attempted to recover, he couldn’t beat the referee’s 10-count.

Superlek’s sensational performance earned him a place in ONE history, as he now holds both the ONE flyweight kickboxing and bantamweight Muay Thai world titles.
