The 32-year-old Canadian-English striker faces Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin in a bantamweight Muay Thai matchup at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Ahead of fight night, 'The One' assessed the Thai veteran's strengths and why he believes his own dynamic approach gives him the edge in their highly anticipated clash.

"He's very well-rounded. He can fight in all areas. But as a whole, he's just an aggressive fighter with a lot of heart. I'm aggressive too, but I believe I'm more dynamic," Jake Peacock told ONE Championship.

The Canadian-English striker's words reflect a fighter who acknowledges his opponent's capabilities while maintaining confidence in his own superior skill set.

Suakim is an aggressive fighter with heart, after all. And the Thai veteran will bring relentless pressure and toughness into this high-stakes striking showdown.

But 'The One', who believes in his superior dynamism, has solved similar problems in the past, and he shouldn't be too fazed by what awaits him at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri this Sunday.

Jake Peacock says he has yet to hit his prime

Before he takes to the Circle in Japan on Nov. 16, Jake Peacock told the promotion in the same interview that he has yet to showcase his full potential on martial arts' grandest stage.

The Canada-based warrior, who has racked up two wins on the trot since joining the ONE roster, said he's more than fired up to test himself against bigger and better names as he continues to steadily make improvements to his ever-evolving arsenal.

"I want to keep testing myself and seeing just how good I can be and where I can go. I don't want to waste time either. I'm 32, and I don't feel like I've reached my prime yet," Jake Peacock added.
