“Fighting for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship against a legend of the sport in Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is a huge honor for me,” Saemapetch stated. “I’ve waited my entire career for this moment. In this fight, the world will witness how two Thai warriors do battle and our unique fighting spirit.”
