On February 23, 2018, Phoe faced an opponent from another country for the first time. He faced Sor Sey, 35, of Cambodia in the featherweight division.
The match between Phoe and Sor was the seventh bout at “ONE: Quest for Gold.” The former knocked out his Cambodian opponent via push kick at 1:53 of Round 1.
Thaw, a lethwei practitioner, traded explosive strikes with Sor, a Khun Khmer specialist, right at the center of the cage. When a left hand staggered the Cambodian MMA fighter along the fence, the Burmese MMA fighter capitalized on the opening and abruptly ended matters with his next kick.
While Phoe now has 6 wins and 0 loss, Sor’s record downgraded to 3 wins and 2 losses. The Cambodian MMA fighter made his ONE Championship debut on December 5, 2015 at “ONE” Kingdom of Khmer” at Koh Pich Theatre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where he knocked out his fellow Cambodian Chim Chetra via punches.
