ONE Friday Fights 5 - Friday, February 17, 2023

Main Card - 8 AM ET, YouTube

Bantamweight (Muay Thai) - Kongklai AnnyMuayThai vs Superball Tded99

Kongklai is 90-28 in kickboxing. After going undefeated in 2020, he was the unanimous choice for Sports Authority of Thailand’s Fighter of the Year.

Superball took home the silver medal at the 2022 World Games, which is like the Olympics' sad, useless younger sibling.

Superball better be really brightly colored or I’m gonna go berserk.
Here's my corresponding preview that goes with my after-show post:

This week we’re back up to 12 fights: 9 Muay Thai and 3 MMA.

The main event battle is between Kongklai Annymuaythai and Superball TDED99. Kongklai has already fought in 2023, a loss to Rambolek 6 weeks ago. He is on a two-fight losing streak and has a 3-4 record since the beginning of 2022. Kongklai won several Fighter of the Year awards in 2020 because he put up a 5-0 record including two 140 lb. title wins. Kongklai notes that between the 4 oz. gloves and the quick breaking of the clinch, fists will be important in this fight and Superball’s strength is knees.

Superball also fought 6 weeks ago, a low kick win over PhetUtong. He’s been relatively inactive, as Muay Thai fighters go, in the Covid era. He’s 2-1 in pro fights since the beginning of 2022, and the loss was to Superlek in Rajadamnern Stadium last April. Some of the gap in his pro resume is because in 2021 and 2022 he participated in the International Federation of Muaythai Associations amateur tournaments. He went 4-0 in 2021 in Bangkok to win the 140 lb. gold medal, winning 4 fights in 4 days from December 8-11. Then, in July 2022, he lost in the finals after winning the two previous days to capture the 140 lb. silver medal at the World Games in Birmingham, Alabama.

The few times I've gone to see local fights in person at small venues you can almost feel the sharp cracking sound of hard strikes, right in your breastbone. It's always shocking compared to what I see online.

one of the most bizarre KOs ever. i swear there was at least a full second of no noticeable effect at all and then burgos' brains realised it got hit like wiley coyote looking down and realising the ground is gone.

ONE Friday Fights 5 - Friday, February 17, 2023

Main Card - 8 AM ET, YouTube

Bantamweight (Muay Thai) - Kongklai AnnyMuayThai vs Superball Tded99

Superball took home the silver medal at the 2022 World Games, which is like the Olympics' sad, useless younger sibling.

Superball better be really brightly colored or I’m gonna go berserk.

130 lb Catchweight (Muay Thai) - Denkriangkrai Singha Mawynn vs Songchana Tor.Brucelee

I’m guessing that Songchana wears a black and yellow jumpsuit like Bruce Lee. And again, if that’s not the case, I’m going to freak out for real.

Bantamweight (Muay Thai) - Ploypanlan P.K.Saenchai vs Namphongnoi Sor.Sommai

Time for the Ploy Plan!

Flyweight (Muay Thai) - Teeyai P.K.Saenchai vs Jelte Blommaert

Saenchai Squad coming full force in Lumpinee Stadium!

132 lb Catchweight (Muay Thai) - Ploymuangjan SmileMuayThai vs Iony Lawrence

Smile Muay Thai. SMILE MUAY THAI!

112 lb Catchweight (Muay Thai) - Yodbuangarm Luckybuntherng vs Khunsuk Sor.Dechapan

I dont know any more. Muay Thai is cool and you should watch it and I dont know whom these people are and it is real hard to find out who these people are, which I’ve mentioned basically every single Friday Fight event. Anyway.

Prelim Card - 5:30 AM ET, YouTube

154 lb Catchweight (Muay Thai) - Revo Sor.Sommai vs Furkan Karabağ

Why not just call this a lightweight bout. It’s one pound away.

Bantamweight - Fritz “Kid Tornado” Biagtan vs Adamkhonov Nurmuhammad

Biagtan is 4-1 with 3 TKO wins. He’s also competed in boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai. He’s even got a loss to Tenshin Nasukawa.

Nurmuhammad is 0-1 and lost his only fight via “Pain Hold on the Hand” which is my new favorite finishing method. While sure, it probably means an injury, I prefer to think Adamkhonov faced a giant crabman who crushed his hands with horrible pincers.

Let’s go Fritz, I guess!

Flyweight - Aleksandra Savicheva vs Zeba “Fighting Queen” Bano

Savicheva is 1-0, winning her pro debut by 35-second ground and pound in September.

Bano is 1-1 in regular MMA, losing her most recent bout to Nat Jaroonsak by first round armbar in ONE last May. She’s also got a trio of bouts that don’t count on her record due to alleged legitimacy issues.

C’mon Bano, prove that you can beat up jobbers and still beat sort of regular fighters, too.

Bantamweight (Muay Thai) - Dedduanglek Tded99 vs Temirlan Bekmurzaev

Tded99 gym has been putting out a fair number of fighters on these cards, i’ve noticed. Good for Tded99 and all the Tdeds what came before.

Strawweight - Chihiro Sawada vs Sanaz Fayazmanesh

Sawada is 3-0-1, with three straight wins, all under the Shooto banner. She’s a wrestler from Japan, and Japan’s women's wrestlers are scary.

Fayazmanesh is 1-0, that fight coming in 2018, which was over FOUR YEARS AGO. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

Let’s go Sawada.
