After Rodtang pulled out of his fight with Savvas Michael in the one Muay Thai world Grand Prix finals, the alternate was Panpayak, who many consider a talent equal to Rodtang.
Panpayak made the best of the late replacement by dominating and destroying Michael, KOing him in round 2 with a vicious headkick. He will now head to the Muay Thai world Grand Prix finals against SuperLek, in a true super fight.
