This Is The Worst Battered Up Leg I've Ever Seen After A Fight
ONE 165 went down this past weekend in Japan, main evented by kickboxing superstar Superlek Kiatmoo9 vs a newcomer in Takeru Segawa - and the photos of Takeru's lead leg after the fight are the perfect example of why they call Superlek "The Kicking Machine"....
Superlek just BATTERED that lead leg with kicks for five straight rounds....
Turned it into fresh roast beef from Satriale's. Beat it like Michael Jackson. But Superlek faced some surprising adversity from the debuting Takeru Segawa in the third round, getting backed up into the corners and pummeled for a while….
Superlek recovered and eventually got the unanimous decision after five rounds, but all anyone could talk about afterwards is the heart of Takeru Segawa after surviving that all out assault on his leg - and understandably so.
I took one (1) leg kick from Meatball Molly (shoes on tho) and legitimately felt it for about six weeks afterwards….
Taking those Superlek kicks over and over again, and being forced to stand on that leg and fight back through it all, is quite simply insane. Just wanted to give Takeru a quick blog shoutout for that #BullyHeart, as Jersey Jerry says.
Shoutout to Meatball Molly too, by the way, who fights Diana Belbita in a rematch this Saturday at the UFC Apex!
We love the Meatball. Will always be in her corner. Time for her to get back in the W column!
P.S. If you're curious as to why Superlek Kiatmoo9's name has a 9 in it, here is a helpful guide courtesy of r/Thailand on Reddit….
