Prajanchai PK Saenchai is one of the most dangerous, versatile, and battle-tested strikers in all of combat sports. Now he will defend his ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship against England's Ellis Badr Barboza in the main event of ONE Fight Night 28.

On 8 February, Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, will host this all-action bout. The reigning ONE Strawweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion has competed in over 400 fights and he's just 30 years old. These numbers are astonishing for anyone familiar with combat sports.

The pupil of the famed PK Saenchai Muaythaigym can quickly read his opponents. In fact, he pointed out "El Jefe's" weakness and revealed the game plan he intends to deploy against the Brit.

"Barboza's strength is his punches, punches to the body. Those are scary. But Ellis, don't forget that your fists are covered by the gloves, while my elbows are bare. Let's see who will perform better," Prajanchai said.

"Barboza's weakness is his abdomen. He can't have it touched. He can't handle my knee strikes. But I have more than just the knees. I have so many surprises for him. Fists, punches, knees, elbows - all of the Muay Thai weapons will surely be given to him."

Outside of ONE, Prajanchai has won nearly every accolade in Muay Thai and has been a force to be reckoned with since his debut. He boasts a record of 6-1 in the promotion, twice defeating Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time.

This shows how ruthless he can be when he steps into the squared circle. When asked about the prediction of the bout, Prajanchai didn't imply an outcome but confidently stated that if the chance arises, he will take it.

"How would I like this fight to end? I can't answer that," he said. "We'll need to improvise and adjust in the ring, punch by punch. I can't just say how I'd end the fight, but if there's a chance, I'll surely end it early. It's on who misses first."
