Petnamkhong Sor Maneekhot defeats Wanchainoi via decision

Petnamkhong Sor Maneekhot secured a unanimous decision victory over veteran Wanchainoi Pongsuphan PK in the strawweight Muay Thai main event at The Inner Circle 26. Held at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium, the bout served as a high-stakes contest where a win would bring the victor closer to a $100,000 main roster contract with ONE Championship.

Despite entering the fight as an underdog against the experienced 101-fight veteran, the 22-year-old Petnamkhong utilized superior footwork, accuracy, and volume to control the match. While Wanchainoi applied heavy pressure with hooks and elbow combinations, Petnamkhong countered with sharp teeps, head kicks, and a well-timed flying knee.

This victory marks Petnamkhong's fourth consecutive win following a three-fight losing skid earlier in his career, bringing his professional record to 47-9.
