‘My Natural Power Comes Back’ – Ratchasiesan Reveals Motivation Behind Move To Featherweight Ahead Of The Inner Circle On May 1

Former two-division Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion “Left Meteorite” Ratchasiesan Laochokcharoen ’s motivation is at an all-time high. The 27-year-old southpaw formerly known as Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai squares off against near-flawless Russian sensation Elbrus “The Samurai” Osmanov in the main event of The Inner Circle , airing live from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, May 1. Both men will make their featherweight Muay Thai debut, and the Thai star believes the decision to move up a weight class will greatly benefit his career and ultimately lead him to the life-changing six-figure contract and global roster spot he seeks.

Also, Ratchasiesan got his career back on the right track.

After losing his momentum last December, he returned three months later and knocked out Uzbekistan’s Uzair Ismoiljonov in the third round of their bantamweight Muay Thai clash at ONE Friday Fights 147 . View this post on Instagram Though “Left Meteorite” claimed a decisive victory, he also realized that it was becoming increasingly more difficult to make the bantamweight limit. With that in mind, he has moved up a weight class and makes his featherweight Muay Thai debut against Osmanov.

Most importantly, Ratchasiesan has every reason to believe that he will be more dangerous in this division. The Thai explained: “Moving up to featherweight definitely had to do with my last fight where I struggled with the weight, but there were other factors too. My body just can’t stay at the old weight anymore.
