ONE Friday Fights 165 Lineup Unveiled: All 11 Bouts Confirmed For August 7
The world's largest martial arts organization, ONE Championship, has unveiled the full lineup for ONE Friday Fights 165, set to take place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 7.
The event will feature 11 action-packed bouts, with each athlete vying for a coveted US$100,000 contract and a spot on ONE's global roster. The stacked card showcases the best of Muay Thai talent, with each fighter looking to make a statement in the competitive weekly series.
In the main event, Thai knockout artist Petninmungkorn Namkang will face off against his surging compatriot Pet Suanluangrodyok in an atomweight Muay Thai showdown. Petninmungkorn rides a six-fight winning streak with four knockouts into Friday, hunting the finish from the opening bell as he always does.
The aggressive banger from Khon Kaen, Pet Suanluangrodyok, arrives with momentum that has turned heads across the division. He trains at Sitsarawatseur and has assembled a three-fight winning streak, highlighted by a statement victory over Adam Sor Dechapan.
In the co-main event, elegant kicking technician Suksawat PK Saenchai will take on explosive Russian power puncher Ilyas Musaev in a bantamweight Muay Thai clash of contrasting styles. Suksawat's weapon is a thing of beauty, a venomous left body kick that has dismantled opponents piece by piece.
Forced into Muay Thai by poverty and the teasing of an older brother he could never beat, Suksawat has grown into one of the most poised technicians in his division. He arrives on a two-fight winning streak, including a victory that handed Linus Bylander the first defeat of his professional career.
Musaev, on the other hand, brings exactly that raw power. The 24-year-old from Dagestan is an explosive puncher who touches gloves to find his range before detonating precise straights and compact combinations.
