Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom got a firsthand look at her potential next opponent, Kana Morimoto, during last weekend’s ONE Friday Fights 95 event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Following her debut loss to Anissa Meksen, Kana bounced back with an impressive unanimous decision victory over Moa Carlsson.
During an in-ring interview, Kana was informed by ONE commentator Mitch Chilson that she would be next in line to challenge for the atomweight kickboxing title at ONE 162 in Japan on March 23. Phetjeeja even entered the ring to congratulate Kana on her performance and had some interesting observations about her potential challenger.
Phetjeeja noted that she and Kana share similar fighting styles, both known for overwhelming their opponents with a high volume of strikes. While Kana utilizes incredible speed to land kicks and punches, Phetjeeja relies on her power and finishing abilities to dominate her opponents.
As the anticipation builds for a potential showdown between Phetjeeja and Kana, the question remains: can Kana put an end to Phetjeeja’s reign of terror in the atomweight division? Phetjeeja has been on a tear in both Muay Thai and kickboxing, with notable wins over top contenders like Anissa Meksen and Janet Todd.
With over 200 career victories under her belt, Phetjeeja will likely be the favorite heading into a matchup with Kana. However, Kana has already shown great skills and a warrior’s spirit in her first two bouts in ONE Championship, making her a formidable challenger.
Fans can expect an exciting and action-packed fight when these two talented fighters eventually face off. Stay tuned for more updates on ONE 162: Takeru vs. Rodtang and witness the clash between Phetjeeja and Kana for the atomweight kickboxing title.
