Sagetdao Petpaiyathai (born January 1, 1987) is a retired Muay Thai fighter from Thailand. He is a former Lumpinee Stadium champion and was known for his strong knee and clinch style of fighting. He now teaches at Evolve MMA in Singapore.

Sagetdao is one of three children in his family, but he's the only child to have fought Muay Thai. Sagetdao began his career at the age of 10 at the Nalakap gym in Maha Sarakham, Northeast Thailand. He fought around 100 times for this camp over the course of 7 years. At 17 he moved to Bangkok and began training Kiatpet gym.

In 2007 he captured stadium titles at both Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium. By 2008 he was a household name in the Muay Thai world and made the top fighters take notice when he knocked out veteran Nongbee Kiatyongyut on a channel 7 broadcast.

In 2009 he participated in a special rules fight where he teamed with Petboonchu FA Group to take on #1 fighter, Saenchai Sinbimuaythai and the duo was defeated. After losing to Saenchai, Sagetdao would go to England and fight their best fighter, Liam Harrison. Sagetdao frustrated the Englishman with hard kicks and survived big punches to earn a decision. After this victory Sagetdao would once again meet up with Saenchai, but this time he was doing it on his own. The fight took place at the annual year end Lumpini stadium birthday show. Most expected Saenchai to win comfortably, Sagetdao however had other plans, and he stunned the crowd by beating Saenchai over 5 rounds.

In 2010 he beat fellow clinch master, Petboonchu FA Group, and closed the year out strong by stopping Denkiri Sor. Sommai with a body punch that would be voted channel 7 fight of the year. In 2011 he beat Nong-O Sit Or, Petboonchu FA Group, Saenchai Sinbimuaythai, and Singdam Kiatmuu9. In October he would once again fight abroad, this time in America, his opponent was American, Kevin Ross. This fight was for the WBC Diamond super lightweight belt and Sagetdao would win with a stoppage at the end of round 3 because of a large cut on Ross's head from an elbow. In 2012 he lost his first 3 fights. In his 4th fight of the year he beat Petboonchu FA Group, and in his 5th he beat Penek Sitnumnoi He beat Sofiane Derdega to retain the WBC super lightweight championship.
