“I thought so much that I stopped being myself”

Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand has taken a step back, reevaluated his career, and discovered his flaws.

Now, the former pound-for-pound king is coming to reclaim his lost glory and remind the public why he’s such a menace inside the ring.

Speaking to YOKKAO in a recent interview, Superlek detailed what he has been missing, and his biggest, most glaring mistake that led to a handful of heartbreaking setbacks.

‘The Kicking Machine’ said:

“After dealing with injuries and being out of action for so long, I started overthinking. I wanted to try this and that without focusing on the results. I thought so much that I stopped being myself. I forgot that I already have great weapons and tried to do something else instead.”

Superlek is coming off highly publicized defeats to former bantamweight Muay Thai king Nabil Anane and recent ONE world title challenger Yuki Yoza.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see Superlek Kiatmoo9 back in action in the ONE Championship ring.
