Ouraghi found himself on the floor early in the fight but had the composure to assert himself in the fight well, dropping his Thai opponent with chopping leg kicks and some punishing shots to the body. It would be the body attack that would ultimately stop the fight in the second stanza.
With an overall Muay Thai record of 32-3 he is now looking to establish himself in ONE Championships ranks.
Standing across from him at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok will be Yamin PK Saenchai. Another student of the famed PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, Yamin is also in just his second ONE Championship bout this week, having also secured a knockout win on debut.
This will be a battle between two men hungry for success, and the chance to prove themselves in the world’s biggest martial arts organisation. Both have the pedigree and reputation of fighters who come looking to end things early so expect fireworks from the outset.
