The world’s largest martial arts organization returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, April 10, and fans tuning in live in Asia primetime can expect a stacked night of martial arts action.
ONE Friday Fights 150 is part of this week’s triple-header and features nine bouts across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA, with most athletes on the card hunting a coveted US$100,000 contract and spot on ONE’s global roster.
On the same night, the The Inner Circle features the vacant ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title fight between divisional Muay Thai king Regian Eersel and Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong. After ONE Friday Fights 150, the ultra-stacked ONE Fight Night 42 also airs live in U.S. primetime.
But first, here’s what to expect at ONE Friday Fights 150.
In the main event, decorated veteran Kompet Sitsarawatsuer squares off with southpaw Attachai Kelasport in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown.
A two-time Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, the 26-year-old Kompet is one of the most accomplished fighters in his division. With both parents now passed, the Nakhon Ratchasima native fights to support his siblings and put his younger sister through college. He heads into Friday determined to reassert himself among the division’s elite.
Across from him stands the 23-year-old Attachai, a technically gifted southpaw out of Boxing Army 3 in Phayao. Boasting an 82 percent career win rate, Attachai has the tools to challenge anyone in the strawweight division. He started Muay Thai at age 9 after a teacher saw something in him. He later attended military school and now sets his sights on a life-changing contract and global recognition.
In the co-main event, Rambong Sor Therapat returns to the ring against Pethuahin Jitmuangnon in a flyweight Muay Thai clash.
The 28-year-old Rambong grew up in a family of gardeners so poor they sometimes had to ask neighbors for food. Muay Thai changed everything for him. He has used his earnings to buy a house for his family and heads into Friday looking to build on his recent form and push closer to a six-figure contract.
Across from him, the 26-year-old Pethuahin carries his own motivations into the ring. He lost his mother at just 7 years old and was raised by a single father who worked odd jobs to keep the family afloat. Pethuahin has channeled those hardships into his craft and now dreams of building a house for his father. With his precise timing and sharp body kick, he believes a contract is within reach.
In other action, Poland’s Bartek Paszczyk takes on Lebanese striker Nassib Hmede in lightweight Muay Thai action. Paraguayan MMA upstart Waldimir Britez — the first from his country to compete in ONE — looks to extend his perfect 4-0 professional record against Azerbaijani and Turkish standout Rasul Rahimov in bantamweight MMA action.
Australian-Portuguese fighter Dante Rodrigues makes his ONE debut against Sweden’s Dalian Dawody in lightweight Muay Thai, while Thailand’s Chokdee Maxjandee faces Myanmar’s Salai Htan Khee Shein in atomweight Muay Thai.
Nuapet Torfunfarm squares off with Sornsueknoi FA Group in flyweight Muay Thai, and two flyweight kickboxing bouts round out the card, with China’s Hong Chengzhi taking on Japan’s Kazuteru Yamazaki and China’s Huang Zhengbang meeting Japan’s Yoshida Kosei.
