After lighting up Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on six occasions, Seksan Or Kwanmuang finally got to showcase his talents on U.S. primetime at ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade.

"The Man Who Yields To No One" dispatched Karim Bennoui on short notice to earn the 200th victory of his Muay Thai career and the seventh win in a row under the ONE Championship banner on Saturday, 4 November.

This year has been a landmark stretch for Seksan. Arriving in ONE and showcasing unmissable action allowed him to change his family's life. And to reach 200 professional victories in the world's largest martial arts organization is an achievement Seksan holds near and dear.

"I am very happy to be able to win my 200th win of my career here in ONE Championship. I'm very honored," Seksan said. "Yes this has been the best year in my career, and I would like to thank both the ONE Championship team and also my team for supporting me. It has been a very good year."

Across seven wins in ONE, Seksan has dispatched names such as Nathan Bendon, Tyson Harrison, and Amir Naseri. But one former foe he wants to step back in the ring with is Sean Clancy.

The strikers slugged it out at ONE Friday Fights 14 this past April. And just as business was picking up, a cut to Clancy's brought the bout to an end inside the second round.

Nevertheless, Seksan left with the TKO victory in hand. But that's not enough for the Thai legend. Instead, he wants to give the Irishman another go-around, feeling there was magic left untapped in the surefire barnburner.

"If possible I would like to get a rematch with Sean Clancy, the opponent who I had in ONE in Lumpinee," Seksan said. "Because he got an elbow and I got a TKO, but for me I feel like he still had enough energy to keep going. If possible I would like to fight him next."
