Sor Sey’s Epic Comeback: Back to the ONE Championship Ring!
*
What’s the Pressure Like?
*
“I can take a hit, just like the Lethwei champs,” the Cambodian fighter says.
“It’s a showdown of cardio and heart.”
He’s ready to prove that a smaller frame can’t slow a determined spirit.
From a Farm Boy to a Muay Thai Star
*
Childhood Hard Work – Tending to buffaloes was a literal tug‑of‑war on the family farm.
Rising Tensions – Little ‘S’ was teased for being short and weak, so he found his strength in the curb‑busting chores.
Turning Mud into Muscle
*
“Pulling buffaloes? Been doing it since I was a kid!”
It turned his tiny body into a powerhouse over time – a way for his dad to teach “hard work” and “strength.”
First Taste of Combat: Khmer Wrestling
*
In village festivals, he pockets a win despite zero training.
“Those matches gave me a firm base; the same grit helped my battles with bulls.”
Kun Khmer and the Flickering Dream
*
A hit‑and‑miss start: first fight lost badly.
Trained by a skeptical gym, he only watched matches “to learn the moves.”
Coached by the legendary Eh Phouthong: “You’re short, but that won’t stop you.”
Meeting the Cage Guru: Kru Chan Reach
*
“Kru saw me at the camp, looking for new cage competitors.”
Ved a chance to revive his fight and feed his family.
ONE Championship Debut
*
Victory against Chim Chetra – a TKO that made his family proud—and his bank account happy.
He used the prize money to cover his wife’s medical expenses.
Current Journey in Japan
*
He spent the past two years sharpening techniques and studying Khmer martial arts abroad.
Back Home to Fight!
*
Date: 23 Feb at the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar.
Opponent: Local legend and Lethwei superstar Phoe “Bushido” Thaw – tall, fierce, and full of style.
Why the Match Matters
*
“I’m 15 cm shorter than Thaw. Still, I’ll bring the experience.”
He’s ready to face the “wild and unorthodox” champion and prove that skill beats size.
Ready to Outrun the Opponent
*
“I’ve bested taller fighters before. Experience gives me a mental edge.”
It’s all about cardio, heart, and the sheer will to win.
Let’s Cheer “S’!”
*
Belgianite e‑d (??) * “Come on, duo, little leaves in the fight inside!”
Final Thought
*
From battling bulls to battling in the ONE cage, Sor Sey’s journey shows that a smaller stature cannot dampen a big heart.
“Lethwei champs can take a hit, and I can take a hit.” —— The mantra that fuels this warrior.
