ONE Championship Muay Thai star 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut gave a rousing pitch to foreigners interested in learning about the 'art of eight limbs' to visit Thailand, the country of its origin.
In an interview with Thailand-based content creator Mike Yu (@immikeyu) on Instagram, Nattawut stated:
"Just come, that's it. Oh, [it] doesn't matter. If [it's] your first time or no experience, you don't know anything, you just come. You get here, you will get everything. It's so easy to be here."

Nattawut is one of the most dangerous fighters to have ever come out of Thailand owing to his decorated 72-win career, which includes two world titles in the Lion Fight promotion, plus the WMC World Super Lightweight Championship.
The Thai Top Team star will bring his striking prowess to ONE Friday Fights 81 on September 27 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, where he will face ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon.
ONE Friday Fights 81 is available live on pay-per-view at watch.onefc.com.
