Career
Muay Thai
Known as Saiyoknoi Sakchainarong during early years of his career, he rose to fame by winning three stadium titles including one from the prestigious Rajadamnern Stadium. Saiyok was considered in Thailand one of the most promising fighters in the heavier weight classes, however he fell from grace after losing his belts to Singmanee Sor Srisompong, in a controversial match seen by the thai media as fraud.[3]
After the fight, promoters shied away from the disgraced fighter, forcing him to find another job and earn living as fruit merchant. He was taken in by a promoter at Lumpinee Stadium, Lieutenant General Sukkhatat Pumphanmuang, who decided to help Saiyok on his return to the sport.[3]
Saiyok, took Lumpinee promoter’s last name as part of his new ring alias, and on March 7, 2008, at Lumpinee he won the vacant welterweight title of Thailand by second-round KO over Singsiri Por Sirichai.[4]
On January 9, 2010 at the Society of Journalists annual awards show in Bangkok, Saiyok was awarded the Muaythai Ambassador of the Year award.[5]
He faced Fabio Pinca at Thai Fight: Lyon on September 19, 2012, in Lyon, France and won via decision after three rounds.[6][7]
He fought Dylan Salvador in Roschtigrabe, Switzerland on October 20, 2012, and lost by TKO after he could not continue due to a knee injury at the end of round one.[8][9]

Saiyok was set to fight Chike Lindsay at Muaythai Superfight on May 13, 2013,[11] but the bout was scrapped.
Saiyok will coach a team of farangs against a rival team trained by Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee on the reality television series Thai Fight Kaad Chuek, to be shown over between July and August 2013 on Thailand's Channel 5. The two coaches will face off in December 2013.[12]
He knocked out Mickaël Piscitello with a second round elbow at Thai Fight: Bangkok 2013 in Bangkok on June 29, 2013.[13]
He KO'd Muhammad Nsubuga in round two at Thai Fight: Pattani 2013 in Pattani, Thailand on September 22, 2013.[14]

On July 22, 2018, Saiyok faced Lethwei star Tun Tun Min, former Openweight Lethwei World Champion,[17] under traditional Lethwei rules KO to win in Yangon, Myanmar.
