Career

Biography

Sudsakorn is a young nakmuay who is very popular in his home country of Thailand. He has recently arrived in France and was welcomed by his manager Nicolas Subileau. He hopes to make a name for himself in Europe by fighting the best in his weightclass of 64 kg - 70 kg.

His fighting name comes from a thai legend : Sudsakorn is a strange child brought up in the ancient mystical traditions of Thailand. His mother, a siren, sends him away to find his father whom he's never known. Armed with his grandfather's magical weapon and accompagnied by his half-horse, half-dragon, Sudsakorn embarks on a long, dangerous quest.

Sudsakorn whose real name is Som Klinmee also nicknamed « O » began practising Muaythai at age 6. He began training under his father Yack Klinmee for 4 years and his older cousin Rambaa Somdet M16.
