Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee (Thai: สุดสาคร ส.กลิ่นมี; born August 25, 1986) is a Thai Muay Thai kickboxer and current Lion Fight Middleweight Champion. He is the former Thai Fight Kard Chuek Middleweight Champion and World Kickboxing Network Muay Thai Welterweight World Champion.^[2]

Sudsakorn is one of Thailand's most famous fighter. His real name is Som Klinmee but his nickname is « O » among Thai people. He began practicing Muay Thai at the age of 6. He began training under his stepfather Yaak and his older cousin Rambaa Somdet M16. Between the ages of 10 and 18, he was taken in by his uncle Tappaya of the Sit-Or Gym in Pattaya. At 18, Sudsakorn met an Irishman named Graig O'Flynn, who opened the Sitjaipetch Gym. During this time, Sudsakorn fought four times in England and Ireland. Later on, he moved to the Scorpion Gym in Pattaya. When he was around 23, his uncle Tappaya retired and opened the Sor Klinmee Gym, where Sudsakorn had been training for the last six years. He received an offer to join the Fairtex Gym but refused to leave his uncle's gym. He became part of the Venum Team and moved to the Venum Training Camp for a couple of years before deciding to leave in order to open his Sudsakorn Muay Thai Gym, where he trains and teaches. Sudsakorn is also the owner of the recently opened Sudsakorn Arena Stadium, which consists of a complex of 7 men's football fields surrounded by some small shops. He has a younger brother named Sinsamut Klinmee, who currently competes for ONE Championship.

Sudsakorn's first European experience was in Ireland; where he had been living, training and teaching for three months. During his early career, he arrived in France in order to make a name for himself in Europe by fighting the best fighters in his weight class of 64–70 kg. In the early months of 2010, Sudsakorn lived and trained in Torino with his manager and friend Filippo Cinti. He fought around Italy for a couple of years before meeting his Italian wife in 2011. Married together one year later, the couple broke up at the beginning of 2021 and got divorced recently. Sudsakorn signed a contract with the Thai Fight promotion in 2011, which resulted in him fighting mostly in Thailand. In May 2013, he participated in a 32-man tournament: Thai Fight Kard Chuek. He would become the THAI FIGHT Kard Chuek tournament champion winning the final round against Saiyok Pumpanmuang on December 22, 2013. Sudsakorn also fought on a number of international Yokkao events beginning from 2012 on the promotion's first official event, Yokkao Extreme. He also joined other Muay Thai champions such as Buakaw Banchamek, Saenchai, Dzhabar Askerov and many others on the Yokkao-sponsored Muay Thai Combat Fan Expo in 2011, showcasing the sport to fans in Italy.^[3]

His fighting name is derived from a Thai folktale: Sudsakorn is a child brought up in the ancient mystical traditions of Thailand and embarks on a long and dangerous journey.

During his time in Ireland, he beat Robert Storey, the British champion twice in 2005. (Sudsakorn weighed 61 kg at the time) During the rematch aired on Eurosport, Robert Storey had his arm fractured by a middle but nevertheless managed to go the 5 rounds.^{[citation needed]}

A year later, in 2006, Sudsakorn won the WMC S1 World Championship belt (64 kg) at the King's Anniversary the 5th of December, against Slovak Egon Herzing.^{[citation needed]}

His fondest memory is winning the WPMF World Professional Muaythai Federation title against fellow Thai fighter Ouadang Soukilatougsong in 2006.

Sudsakorn considers his greatest achievement to be beating Kaosanit Sopanpai, a Channel 7 Stadium champion, in 2007. The Channel 7 Tournament, held every Sunday in Bangkok, brings together all the champions having had at least 3 consecutive wins at the Rajadamnern Stadium, Lumpini Stadium or Omnoi Stadium.

He considers his toughest fight to be his victory over Kongfa Bergmun to win the Fairtex Theprasit 2007 belt.

On 21 January 2012, he fought Surinamese-Dutch kickboxer, Marco Piqué at Yokkao Extreme 2012 which was attended by 12,000 attendees. He won by unanimous decision after 3 rounds.^[4]

Sudsakorn took revenge on Mickael Piscitello by winning a decision at Yokkao Extreme 2013 in Milan, Italy on January 26, 2013.^[7][8][9]

He beat Yi Long by decision at Yokkao 9 in Xinyang, China on May 24, 2014 ^[10] but Yi Long didn't want to accept his defeat and asked to the Chinese organisation of WLF to change the official verdict days after. Yokkao, official promoter of the event, refused his request as there was no contest, Sudsakorn absolutely dominated every round. Successively Yi Long has been refusing any proposal of a rematch.
