‘I’ll Be In His Face’ – George Jarvis Ready To Smash Old Foe Rungrawee Even Faster At ONE Fight Night 44

The first time George “G-Unit” Jarvis faced Rungrawee “Legatron” Sitsongpeenong, he already knew exactly how the fight would unfold.

Now, heading into their lightweight Muay Thai rematch at ONE Fight Night 44 on Prime Video, the Englishman is even more convinced of his superiority, and he’s planning to prove it by dismantling his opponent in less time.

The British striker returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, June 26, with complete confidence in his ability to replicate his previous success – and surpass it. A win in U.S. primetime could also earn “G-Unit” another crack at two-sport ONE World Champion Regian “The Immortal” Eersel, who both Jarvis and Rungrawee have lost to under different rule sets.

The two men originally met at ONE Friday Fights 85 in November 2024, where Jarvis scored a third-round knockout to earn a US$100,000 contract and global roster spot with ONE Championship.

Since their first encounter, Jarvis believes nothing has changed in the 30-year-old veteran’s game, and that predictability is exactly what he plans to exploit to secure a faster, more convincing victory.

Rungrawee has built his career on a consistent approach that has served him well for two decades, but that very consistency may be his downfall against an opponent who has already studied him extensively and is returning with even more refined skills.

Jarvis, a former WBC Muay Thai World Champion, said:

“I’m going into this fight confident. I’m going into this fight ready to do the same as what happened last time, if not even quicker and even better.

“I think he’s gonna be pretty much the same because he’s been fighting the same style, the same way, the same everything for the last 20 years. He’s not gonna suddenly become this new fighter. He can try new things, he can have certain tactics, but when the pressure gets applied, he’s always gonna go back to his ways.”

That said, Jarvis believes he holds the decisive advantage in his relentless work rate and conditioning. Throughout his ONE tenure, his cardio has been the differentiating factor against every opponent he’s faced.

From his dominant win over former two-time ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Sinsamut Klinmee to his victories over Rungrawee and Mouhcine Chafi, the Englishman has consistently outlasted his opposition through sheer volume and tireless pressure.

Jarvis, who owns a 28-5 record, offered:

“My work rate, my fitness – I don’t get tired. Sinsamut couldn’t keep up. Rungrawee couldn’t keep up. Mouhcine Chafi couldn’t keep up. So yeah, I’m just gonna use that to my advantage. As soon as that bell goes, I’ll be in his face, and we’ll see if he can last.”

A Statement Finish Could Prove Jarvis Is Ready For Eersel Rematch

A quick knockout victory in this rematch carries implications that extend far beyond the personal redemption of defeating Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong a second time.

For George Jarvis, finishing his old foe in one or two rounds would send a resounding message throughout the lightweight Muay Thai division, particularly to the man who currently sits atop the throne.

Regian Eersel needed 15 grueling minutes to defeat Rungrawee, albeit for the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title. But it was a five-round war that showcased the Thai’s durability and fighting spirit. If Jarvis can accomplish what Eersel could not – a first or second-round stoppage – the implications about his standing even in the Muay Thai division would be undeniable.

The 25-year-old Brit explained:

“If I can knock out Rungrawee in a round or two — within the three rounds — and Eersel’s just had a hard five rounds with him, it says it all, doesn’t it? So, no one can keep saying I’m not on that level.”

The narrative around Jarvis has always included whispers of doubt from those unwilling to fully acknowledge his place among the division’s elite. After all, he also faced, and lost to, Eersel.

Despite his impressive resume and relentless performances before and since then, skeptics continue to question whether his accomplishments truly place him at the top.

A statement victory against Rungrawee would eliminate that conversation entirely and possibly put him back in front of Eersel for the lightweight Muay Thai division’s crown jewel.

He concluded:

“Everyone around me personally knows I’m on that level, and I just need to prove that to the rest of the people now.”
