Muay Thai Authority has been informed that two world titles will be on the line at M-One's Muay Thai event at Club Nokia on October 21st in Los Angeles, CA. One of the world titles will be for a WBC Muay Thai world title, while the other will be for an MTAA world title.
WBC Muay Thai international champion Kevin Ross and Sakkedao Petchpayathai will fight for the WBC Muay Thai interim super lightweight world title, in what will once again be a stern test for Ross. One thing both of these fighters have in common is that they have each fought Saenchai Sinbimuaythai. Ross dropped a decision to Saenchai back in August at Stand Up Promotions "M1 Grand Muay Thai Championship" while Sakkedao has split four fights with Saenchai.
On Sunday, August 14th, Saenchai Sinbimuaythai and Kevin Ross went toe to toe for five rounds at Stand Up Promotions "M1 Grand Muay Thai Championship". On the line was the MTAA world title as well as the first ever WBC Muay Thai diamond belt. The cheers of the crowd rocked the place, as the fighters did each other, making for an over-the-top fan experience. American fan favorite Kevin Ross came up short in his bid to try and defeat arguably the worlds best pound for pound fighter.
Muay Thai Authority was able to catch up with Saenchai as he arrived in Los Angeles, CA for his upcoming fight with Kevin Ross thanks to the help of David Huerta and Robin Hart. Saenchai answered a few questions regarding his upcoming fight with Ross as well as his future plans and how he stays motivated after having already accomplished so much in Muay Thai. Saenchai vs. Ross takes place on Sunday August 14th at Stand Up Promtoions "M1 Grand Muay Thai Championship".

Ever since antiquity man has understood the power of diamonds, often referring to them as the “unbreakable” mineral. These gemstones, along with their lustrous appearance, have the reputation of being the hardest and toughest of all jewels. Because of this, there’s no question concerning man’s allure to this magnificent piece of earth. With that, what better fight than Saenchai Sinbimuaythai versus Kevin Ross for the WBC to award its first ever Diamond Belt in its Muaythai division? Does
Saenchai, known as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, not bring with him to the ring the very same qualities as one of the most yearned for jewels on earth? Furthermore with this level of opposition, will Ross not be performing under the same pressures that are known for making diamonds? It seems to me this belt is fitting for a clash between these two combatants, each having paved the way for the sport in their own respective ways.
