Thai boxing champion Yodwicha faced a Chinese opponent for the fifth time, this time against the in-form Wang Xin, as part of the Emei Legend World Martial Arts Championship. Previously, Yodwicha had defeated Zhao Yan, Liu Yunlong, Liu Lei, and Luo Jie. However, new rules—limiting continuous knee strikes and tightening the regulations on clinching—posed a significant challenge for him.

Despite a narrower arsenal of attacks, Yodwicha remained a force to be reckoned with. His clinch-knee strikes and sweeping kicks inflicted substantial damage on Wang Xin, who countered with effective punching techniques, resulting in a thrilling and closely contested match.

Due to violations of the new rules, Yodwicha received yellow card warnings, forcing the match to end in a draw after regular time, leading to overtime. During overtime, he received another yellow card, spurring a frenzied offensive burst from the Thai champion. Nevertheless, the final result was a draw, adding to the drama of the encounter.
