Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn

Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn, born Charin Sorndee in 1961, is a Thai former professional Muay Thai fighter who is often ranked among the greatest and most dominant fighters the sport has produced. He held the Lumpinee Stadium lightweight championship for four years and left the title only when he retired, because no challenger remained willing to meet him. The Sports Writers Association of Thailand named him Fighter of the Year for 1982. Nicknamed Lord Sky-Piercing Knee, he was especially known for devastating knee strikes thrown from the clinch, a weapon that made him feared by opponents who were often much shorter than he was.
