Youssef Assouik ready to switch up his style against Rungrawee at ONE Fight Night 34: "I'm ready for everything"

Youssef Assouik is prepared to showcase his tactical versatility when he faces dangerous Thai striker Rungrawee 'Legatron' Sitsongpeenong in lightweight Muay Thai action at ONE Fight Night 34 this Friday, Aug. 1.

The 30-year-old former WMC world champion has studied his opponent extensively, developing multiple tactical approaches for their encounter inside Bangkok's legendary venue this week.

"I know he's a southpaw. So I have to focus on his left hand and left leg. I fight in both stances. I am a southpaw, and I'm orthodox. So I can fight him southpaw against southpaw or orthodox against southpaw. I'm ready for everything," Youssef Assouik told ONE Championship ahead of fight night.

His ability to switch seamlessly between orthodox and southpaw stances should give him a significant tactical advantage against Rungrawee's traditional southpaw approach. Moreover, the Danish-Moroccan standout has plenty of knockout power if the Thai leaves himself open in proximity.
