Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee (Thai: สุดสาคร ส.กลิ่นมี; born August 25, 1986) is a Thai Muay Thai kickboxer and the reigning Thailand and World Kickboxing Network Muaythai Welterweight world champion.
Sudsakorn is one of the most famous nakmuay of Thailand. His real name is Som Klinmee but he's nicknamed « O » for Thai people. He began practising Muay Thai at age 6. He began training under his stepfather Yaak and his older cousin Rambaa Somdet M16. Between the ages of 10 and 18, he is taken in by his uncle Tappaya of Sitor Gym in Pattaya. Then, at 18 Sudsakorn meets an Irishman named Graig O'Flynn who opened the Sitjaipetch. During this time, Sudsakorn has the opportunity to fight 4 times in England and Ireland. Lately he moved to the Scoprion Gym always in Pattaya, but when he was around 23 his uncle Tappaya retired from his career and opened the Sor Klinmee Gym where Sudsakorn'd been training for the last 6 years. He was offered to join the Fairtex family but he refused to leave his uncle's gym. Recently he's become part of the Venum Team and he's moved to the new Venum Training Camp in Pattaya where he still trains but he also takes care of his fighters and teaches Muay Thai to his students.
Sudsakorn's first European experience has been in Ireland where he'd been living, training and teaching for 3months. Also during his early career he arrived in France in order to make a name for himself in Europe by fighting the best in his weightclass of 64–70 kg. In the early months of 2010 Sudsakorn lived and trained in Torino with his manager and friend Filippo Cinti, he's been fighting around Italy for couple of years also meeting his actual wife. Sudsakorn signed a contract with Thai Fight group in 2011 and since then he's been fighting mostly in Thailand. In May 2013 he started a 32 people tournament of Kard Chuek and he became the champion winning the final against Saiyok Pumpanmuang in December 2013.
