Prajanchai, ranked #1 in the World by WMO Muaythai, is also known as one of the current best pound-for-pound Muay Thai fighters on the elite Muay Thai circuit in Thailand.
Making his ONE Championship debut, he faced a tough task against two-sport World champion Sam-A Gaiyanghadao.
Prajanchai start the early rounds strong, causing visibly more damage to his opponent.
Though Sam-A began to find some success in the later rounds, it was ultimately Prajanchai who got the nod from the judges via Majority Decision.
