Yodsanan is a formerWBA super featherweight champion, a title he held from 2002 to 2005.
In MMA, he competed forONE Championship in theirBantamweight division from 2011 to 2017. Yodsanan fights out ofEvolve MMA in Singapore, where he is a member of the Evolve Fight Team.
He is known as theThai Tyson due to his KO power, having won 45 of 56 fights by knockout, and is one of the best boxersThailand has ever produced.[2][4]
Yodsanan turned pro in 1993 and won his first five fights by KO. In 1997 he defeated Run Tangkilisan to win the interimPABA Super Featherweight Title. He defended the title 20 times before vacating it in order to challenge for the WBA Super Featherweight title which he won by defeatingLakva Sim on 13 April 2002.
Yodsanan successfully defended the title three times defeatingLamont Pearson, Ryuhei Suguta andSteve Forbes. On 30 April 2005 he faced challengerVicente Mosquera atMadison Square Garden. Yodsanan became the first man to ever knock Mosquera down but still lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Yodsanan has fought several professionalMuay Thai fights. Notably on 8 March 2007 when he foughtBovy Sor Udomson atRajadamnern Stadium losing by decision.[6]
In early 2011 it emerged that Yodsanan had started training inmixed martial arts atEvolve MMA in Singapore. On July 15, 2011, it was announced that Yodsanan had signed withONE Fighting Championship.[7] This has led some journalists to suggest that Yodsanan will be the best boxer to ever switch from boxing to MMA.[4]
Yodsanan made his professional debut when he fought South African Muay Thai champion Daniel Mashamaite atONE Fighting Championship: Champion vs. Champion at theSingapore Indoor Stadium on September 3, 2011.[8] He won the fight via TKO in the second round after landing a stunning flying knee to the face of his opponent.

He would take a hiatus from mixed martial arts before returning four years later on May 27, 2016, to defeat Khon Sichan atONE Championship: Kingdom of Champions.[10] On March 11, 2017, Yodsanan faced Ramon Gonzalez atONE Championship: Warrior Kingdom, which saw him score a comeback victory via verbal submission.[11][12] On December 9, 2017, he defeated Dodi Mardian by first-round, one-punch knockout atONE Championship: Warriors of the World.[13]
