WATCH: Thai megastar Superlek shows off his near-flawless technique in striking masterclass against Tagir Khalilov

Reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 is as deadly as they come inside the Circle and many fans have witnessed his greatness since he joined ONE Championship in 2019.

One of his best performances came at ONE Fight Night 12 in July 2023 against the dangerous Russian knockout artist Tagir Khalilov in a catchweight (132.25 pounds) Muay Thai bout.

'The Kicking Machine' is known best for his precise leg kicks, but it was his surgical elbow strikes and lightning-fast punches that had Khalilov struggling to find any momentum.

ONE Championship posted the evidence of Superlek's mastery of the art of eight limbs against Khalilov via Instagram.

With the 31-year-old being bloodied and battered, Superlek decided to close out the fight in round two with relentless pressure that forced referee Olivier Coste to call off the bout with over a minute remaining in round two.

Superlek ready for war against younger counterpart at ONE Friday Fights 68

The Thai star is set to take the Circle on Friday, June 28 at ONE Friday Fights 68 inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand against Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.

Superlek is aware that he is entering the fight with a ton of experience compared to Kongthoranee, but that does not mean that he is letting his guard down.

He said in an interview with Sportskeeda MMA:

"I don't think it's easy as everyone is saying. First of all, it's important to keep in mind that when a Thai athlete fights a Thai athlete, they would know their style. I would know his style, he would know my style. So it's different when we fight a foreign athlete."

ONE Friday Fights 68 is available on pay-per-view at watch.onefc.com. Fans can also check their local listings for the card's availability in their area.
