Uthid Kodprakhon (; born January 1, 1984), widely recognized by his ring name Singdam Kiatmuu9 (), is a retired Thai professional Muay Thai athlete and kickboxing competitor. Throughout his career, Singdam secured four Lumpinee Stadium championships across three weight categories and earned the prestigious 2002 Sports Writers Association of Thailand Fighter of the Year award. As a dominant presence in Muay Thai during the 2000s and 2010s, he was dubbed the "Fierce Tiger of Khmer" for his formidable right-leg kicks and is regarded as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
Early career
Hailing from Buriram in Northeast Thailand, Singdam embarked on his fighting journey at the age of nine. By ten, he had joined the Kiatmuu9 gym, where he remained loyal throughout his entire fighting tenure.
2002–2005
Singdam captured the Featherweight championship at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in 2002 by overcoming Orono Wor Petchpun. That same year, he was honored as Fighter of the Year by Thailand’s sports journalists. In 2004, after defeating Yodsanklai Fairtex, he was a contender for the same accolade but suffered a knockout loss to Anuwat Kaewsamrit. Nevertheless, he was awarded Lumpinee Fighter of the Year. In 2005, Singdam secured a decision victory against Saenchai PKSaenchaimuaythaigym, though he was defeated by Saenchai in three rematches throughout the following year.
2006–2009
Between 2006 and 2009, Singdam engaged in significant rivalries with notable fighters including Orono, Jomthong Chuwattana, Nong-O Sit Or, and Lerdsila Chumpairtour. Among these encounters, his decision win over Lerdsila in 2009 stood out as a major accomplishment.
2010–present
In 2010, Singdam faced Nong-O Sit Or in Japan and emerged victorious after an additional round. They met two more times that year, with Nong-O winning both contests. In 2011, Singdam fought Sagetdao Petpayathai twice but lost on both occasions. At the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium’s birthday event in December 2011, he achieved a TKO victory against F16 Rachanon.
Starting in 2012, Singdam experienced a defeat to Nong-O but later claimed the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium title by besting Wanchalerm Uddonmuang on June 8. He successfully defended this championship by knocking out Watcharachai Rachanon on July 6 and then retained it against Saenchai PKSaenchaimuaythaigym on September 8 in a widely anticipated match that drew considerable attention. However, Saenchai reclaimed victory in their rematch at Rajadamnern Stadium on October 4.
Early in 2013, Singdam was defeated by Lumpinee’s 130 lb champion Yodwicha Por Boonsit but rebounded with wins over Sagetdao Phetphayathai in March and Petchboonchu FA Group in May at Lumpinee. Although he lost a lightweight title bout to Nong-O Kaiyanghadaogym in June, he regained the belt with a points win over Nong-O in July. Later that year, he suffered defeats in rematches against Yodwicha and Saenchai, including a loss at Yokkao 5 held in Pattaya.
In September 2017, Singdam officially adopted the fight name Singdam YOKKAOSaenchaiGym under the management of YOKKAO and commenced training at their Bangkok-based facility.
On July 27, at YOKKAO 42 in Dublin, Singdam secured the WBC Muay Thai Super-lightweight Diamond title, becoming only the third athlete to hold this distinguished belt after Buakaw Banchamek and Saenchai. The decision generated debate due to WBC scoring rules treating all strikes equally—unlike traditional Muay Thai where kicks carry greater value—and some analysts felt his opponent Craig Coakley performed better during the bout.
