Current number three-rated ONE featherweight Muay Thai and kickboxing contender Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong recently proved that he's one of the smoothest fighters in all of ONE Championship.

The world's largest martial arts organization published a video evidence of this on their Instagram account, and they wrote its caption with:

"Smooth as silk 😆 Is Sitthichai on track to defeat Shadow at ONE Friday Fights 92? @sitthichai_sitsongpeenong"

In the video, the Thai striking star was in a sparring session, and he pulled off a tricky yet effective leg trip to prevent his sparring partner from countering his missed high kick attempt.

This genius move by Sitthichai has left fans in awe, particularly users @betterlineworks, @_till_i_die_22, @as.chmanehgar, and @combatant_gentleman, who sent their positive reactions through their comments:

"witchcraft"
"Kingmove"
"Don't work hard, work smart"
"Can't even get mad if you get dropped by something that smooth lol"

These types of techniques have helped the 'Killer Kid' to tally an impressive record of six wins and four losses under the promotion. Most recently, Sitthichai snapped his two-fight losing skid by beating Japanese star Masaaki Noiri last June at ONE 167 via unanimous decision to spoil his ONE Championship debut.
