‘I’m Ready To Make Him Pay’ – Pet Promises A Finish Against Nahyan Mohammed At The Inner Circle
Pet Suanluangrodyok is fully prepared to take the next step, and The Inner Circle on April 24 provides the perfect stage to do it.
Two teenage standouts collide in the atomweight Muay Thai main event as the 19-year-old Thai squares off against French-Algerian firecracker “Petsam” Nahyan Mohammed. The bout streams live in Asia primetime for members of The Inner Circle at live.onefc.com from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
Pet built his name the hard way, earning his stripes across Thailand’s fiercely competitive regional circuit before bringing that exact sharpness to the world’s largest martial arts organization. A 5-2 promotional record featuring four stoppages only begins to capture the way he systematically dismantles opponents.
That technical mastery was on full display at ONE Friday Fights 147. Pet met his stiffest test yet in Numsurin Chor Ketwina, a veteran coming off a recent war against ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka. In that contest, Pet controlled the action from bell to bell, claiming a unanimous decision and lifting his career record to 51-11.
The victory put the Thai star on the global map and left zero doubt that he belongs among the elite.
He reflected:
“Most people saw me as a massive underdog. I knew his hands were dangerous, so I couldn’t just rush in blindly. My game plan was to rely on my footwork, getting in and out fast, mixing up my strikes to throw him off his rhythm, and just keep scoring.
“Taking down a fighter of that caliber gave my confidence a huge boost. It makes me feel like I’m ready to take on anyone. It’s all about leveling up and reaching the goals I’ve set for myself.”
Pet carries that momentum straight into his showdown with “Petsam.” The 17-year-old French-Algerian presents no easy assignment, bringing a tall and lanky frame, long-range weapons, sharp clinch work, and a 33-10 career record into the ring.
But the Thai proponent has done his homework. He already spotted the openings he plans to exploit and respects the challenge without fearing it.
The Sitsarawatseur product said:
“Petsam is a brawler with great cardio, and he can push the pace for all three rounds without gassing out. His most dangerous weapon is his combinations. His hands are fast and accurate, and he’s got the reach advantage. That said, I still think I’m trickier and can outwork him.
“His biggest hole is definitely his defense. In his last fight, his guard was way too loose, which made it easy for Nittikorn to catch him and score that knockdown.”
“Petsam’s” last outing at ONE Friday Fights 135 ended in a unanimous decision loss to Nittikorn JP Power, with his aggression consistently leaving him exposed throughout the three-round affair.
Few athletes his age dissect opponents as methodically as Pet does. What he found in fight footage only sharpened his belief that a finish remains well within reach.
He added:
“From what I’ve seen, he fights quite recklessly in almost every bout. Maybe he’s just overconfident in his size and chin, so he neglects his defense? I’m not sure. But one thing’s for certain. If he comes in sloppy against me, I’m ready to make him pay with something heavy.”
Pet Leaves Nothing To Chance In Hunt For Main Roster Spot
For Pet Suanluangrodyok, this upcoming fight signifies something far bigger than simply adding a win to his record. Back at the Sitsarawatseur camp, the teenager kept building on his finishing instincts, meticulously drilling the power and precision that define his rapid rise.
A grinding decision alone will not satisfy him. Pet refuses to leave the ring without an explosive finish.
He stated:
“I’ve been in a solid one-month camp for this one. We’ve worked on maxing out my power and increasing my volume. I’ve also been drilling my footwork to be even sharper so I can pick my spots and close the distance on my terms.
“I’ve been sharpening my power shots for this camp. If the opening is there, I’m putting him away. I don’t want to let this go the distance because a long, grinding fight favors a guy like him.”
The setbacks along the way only hardened his resolve. Every loss refined his technique, and every win moved him closer to the ultimate goal he has chased his entire career.
Earning a coveted ONE Championship main roster contract represents everything, and stopping “Petsam” stands as the necessary next step toward making that dream a reality.
Pet concluded:
“My goal for this fight is to knock Petsam out. I want the fans to really buy into who I am. This is a huge stepping stone to becoming a top contender and getting closer to that ultimate goal: the ONE Championship main roster contract.”
