Seksan made his mark by exploding onto the global stage in 2023. The Muay Thai star rolled through the year with eight consecutive victories. Every match was pure adrenaline in four-ounce gloves. He was upset in April 2024 by Yutaro Asahi but returned in form later in the year.
At ONE 168: Denver, Seksan went toe-to-toe with Liam Harrison in a match that was guaranteed to be exciting. Seksan’s incredible talent was displayed in his U.S. debut as he retired Harrison with a second-round TKO. Now, Seksan looks to make it back-to-back wins under the spotlight to push his overall promotional win total to 10.
Soe Lin Oo will be willing to bang with the Thai star. He is a master of Lethwei and a star in his homeland of Myanmar. In ONE action, Soe Lin Oo started off with three straight wins, all knockouts. In a bid to break through to the upper echelon, Soe Lin Oo was halted by Nabil Anane at ONE Friday Fights 81 by unanimous decision.
Soe Lin Oo will now try to stymie “The Man Who Yields To No One” to get back in the win column. The 142-pound catchweight contest is sure to get the crowd off their feet in Bangkok, as neither man backs down and always goes for the knockout. The explosive Muay Thai contest is an all-action addition to the ONE 170 lineup.
ONE 170 airs live on Friday, January 24. The action begins at 7:30 a.m. EST/4:30 a.m. PST. More matchups will be announced in the weeks to come.
