ONE Friday Fights 34: Seksan’s Top 3 Performances In ONE Championship

By Mike Joseph

When ONE Championship began its weekly Friday Fights series, the world was introduced to the beautifully brutal striker known as Seksan Or Kwanmuang. Whenever the 34-year-old steps inside Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, he doesn't disappoint.

"The Man Who Yields to No One" looks to extend his run in ONE to 6-0 against Amir Naseri this Friday, 22 September, at ONE Friday Fights 34: Rodtang vs. Superlek in Bangkok, Thailand, in 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai action.

Seksan Or Kwanmuang

The Thai sensation does exactly what he says on the tin. He's quickly built a reputation for himself as one of the most entertaining fighters in all of the organization. With that, let's take a look at Seksan's top three performances in ONE.

Seksan's Top ONE Championship Performances

1. Seksan Vs. Isaac Araya: ONE Friday Fights 29 - In his most recent outing, Seksan met Isaac Araya in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 29. The pair took part in a signature Seksan barnburner. But the undeniable Thai quickly took control of the bout.

Despite having his leg caught and balancing on one foot, Seksan's raucous right hand landed on the chin to drop the Spaniard for the first time, and once the Thai smelled blood, the attacks became unrelenting.

Seksan took just 15 seconds to down Araya once more in the second frame. But as soon as the eight-count was given, "The Man Who Yields to No One" unleashed his final barrage of strikes to stop Araya at 0:46 of round two.

And, as a result, Seksan earned the lucrative six-figure US$100,000 contract for his efforts. Nobody could argue that he hadn't deserved it across five sensational Muay Thai contests under the ONE Friday Fights banner.

2. Seksan Vs. Sean Clancy: ONE Friday Fights 14 - Seksan may have a reputation as a deadly finisher, but it took him until his third bout under the ONE banner to finally prove it against the durable battler in Sean Clancy.

"The Man Who Yields to No One" was dead-set on getting the finish. He took the fight to the Irishman immediately and set the tone with a spinning elbow that cut open Clancy in the early going.

Seksan was willing to take his thumps, too. But after almost two full rounds, the doctor was forced to stop the contest due to the severity of the slice on Clancy's head.

3. Seksan Vs. Tyson Harrison: ONE Friday Fights 1 - It all began this past January for Seksan, and it was a sight to behold. Seksan and Tyson Harrison met on the inaugural ONE Friday Fights card, and the fight that ensued was one to remember.

Seksan and "John Wayne Noi" took the fans' breath away inside Lumpinee Stadium that night. The fearsome duo stood in front of one another, and both scrappers refused to take a backward step.

It created a monumental moment and introduced new fans to two of the best sluggers in all of Muay Thai. But when it was all said and done, Seksan left with the split-decision victory in hand.
