WATCH: The sheer brutality Superlek unleashed with his leg kicks in epic Tokyo barnburner against Takeru

Elite combat sports athletes always have a go-to move that they can count on consistently, and in the case of ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9, it is his thundering leg kicks.

With a moniker like 'The Kicking Machine', Superlek has made sure that he lives up to that name every time he steps inside the Circle. He showcased that same power this past January at ONE 165 in Tokyo, Japan, against hometown star Takeru Segawa.

'The Natural Born Crusher' was eager to dethrone Superlek for his ONE flyweight kickboxing world title, but the Thai great made sure it did not happen as he threw countless leg kicks that left his challenger limping when the final bell rang.

Watch Superlek's devastating leg kicks against Takeru, as posted on ONE Championship's Instagram page.

Superlek was declared the winner via unanimous decision and everyone lauded their bout on social media. He added another win to his resume this past June 28 at ONE Friday Fights 68 at the expense of Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.
