This is what I was able to dig up about this week's ONE Friday Fights 3 main event for my blog post: This week’s show has a full royal sampler: 7 Muay Thai fights, 3 MMA fights, and a kickboxing bout. The main event sees Chorfah Tor.Sangtiennoi (0-1 in ONE) facing off with newcomer PetchSukhumvit BoyBangna. Chorfah had a record of 3-3-1 in 2022 and lost his ONE debut via KO to Tagir Khalilov in December. PetchSukhumvit is the current Rajadamnern Stadium Super Featherweight champion. He lost his first challenge in 2021 to Yodthongthai but when the title was vacated he was able to capture it in March 2022 over Ploywittiya and then defended it in June over Yodwittaya.

LobsterMobster posted:almost forgot there was another one of these Another three-sport week: 7 Muay Thai fights, 2 MMA fights, and a kickboxing bout. We’ve gone from 12 fights to 11 down to 10 over 4 shows. The main event features Duangsompong Jitmuangnon taking on Batman Or.Atchariya. Duangsompong is 24 years old and fights out of the same gym as the legend Rodtang. He had a record of 3-2-1 in 2022 and his overall record is 60-10. He’s about 3 inches taller than his opponent. Batman loves popular culture character Batman and was encouraged by his coach to wear a Batman mask to the ring for the past 6-7 years until enough people called him Batman that he changed his ring name to Batman. He acknowledged in the build-up that he’s had to alter his training to account for ONE’s 3-rounds + MMA gloves being different from the traditional Muay Thai 5-rounds + boxing gloves. Batman was 4-2 in 2022 and is on a two-fight losing streak. His overall record is 70-10-1.

ONE Friday Fights 4 - 2022-02-10 Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand Another three-sport week: 7 Muay Thai fights, 2 MMA fights, and a kickboxing bout.

Batman was 4-2 in 2022 and is on a two-fight losing streak. ONE Muay Thai: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System, but judges must declare a winner if the points are even at the end of the fight. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters fight in the 4 oz. MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves. ONE referees tend to break up the clinch almost immediately instead of letting the fighters work out of it. ONE MMA: Regular fights 3 rounds of 5 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Bout scored in its entirety, not round-by-round. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, soccer kicks are not. ONE Kickboxing: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows are not allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters use 8/10-ounce boxing gloves.

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.

LobsterMobster posted:you know how carl's write up is good and full of information and nuance? throw that out the window, it's The big ONE show is in Lumpinee this weekend on Saturday morning, but first we have Friday Fights: 8 Muay Thai, 2 kickboxing, and 2 MMA. In the main event this week we have something of a story. Gingsanglek Tor.Laksong is 22 years old and since the beginning of 2022 he is 4-2, most recently winning via doctor stoppage over Yodkitsada in December. But both of his losses in that timespan were to Sor.Sommai fighters: a Rajadamnern Stadium 135 lb championship loss to his opponent tonight, Kongthoranee, followed by a November loss via DQ to Yodtongthai for kicking a downed opponent. This is also the rubber match between Kongthoranee and Gingsanglek, as their first meeting in April 2021 was a decision victory for Gingsanglek that was a defense of his Omnoi Boxing Stadium 135 lb title. Thaikick has his record at 26-16-1. So Kongthoranee Sor.Sommai is fighting to both win the series and avenge his teammate being kicked while down. Thboxing has his record at around 60-15-5, but Thaikick says 32-22-1. He is a busy 5-4 since the start of 2022, and won a decision over Petchthonglor just 7 weeks ago. After beating Gingsanglek for that Rajadamnern title, he lost it in his first defense to Jom Parunchai and then went on to lose again to Jom a few months later. He is three inches taller than Gingsanglek.

I mean as far as I can tell even the in-person booking of ONE Friday Fights has already broken down at this point, today's show had a canceled MMA fight and 3 last-minute replacements including a guy scheduled to fight Muay Thai on the back half moved down to get destroyed by Ilias in kickboxing in the first half main event.
