Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand is one of the most exciting strikers in ONE Championship.

Once the 28-year-old Kiatmoo9 Gym representative gets it going, it's very hard to get him to stop. Superlek goes pedal to the metal until an opponent is either finished or surrenders.

'The Kicking Machine' put his incredible skills on display in a May 2022 fight against Japanese star Taiki Naito. After trading low blows with his opponent, Superlek proceeded to pile on the pressure.

Superlek hires conditioning coach to help with move to bantamweight: "He’s been a big help"

Flyweight kickboxing king 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 has double gold on his mind as he heads into a world title opportunity against two-sport world champion 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty at ONE 168: Denver.

To help him manage his weight and hydration while maintaining his strength and power in a move to bantamweight, the Thai star has enlisted the aid of a strength and conditioning coach named Hook.

He told ONE Championship:

"I feel I’m more at ease with the weight-cutting process. It’s essential to have someone you can trust on your team. This is my first time moving up to bantamweight, so he’s been a big help."

Superlek added:

"We’ve been doing weight training, making sure that strength is increased, but not too much muscle mass because I still want to be able to defend my belt at flyweight. His knowledge is definitely valuable. I feel prepared and supported in this fight camp."
