Next year, there will be cage events at Lumpinee Stadium. It will only be for the biggest events. Currently, ONE is discussing this with the Thai government.

We are planning on organizing professional boxing matches in ONE Championship.

In two or three years, Rodtang will be as big as Christiano Ronaldo and Messi.

ONE Fight Night 10 [in Denver] sold out seven or eight weeks before the event. American fans were crazier for Rodtang or Stamp than for Demetrious Johnson.

Next year, we are planning on having multiple events in the United States.

For the past 10 years, Muay Thai was a mess because of fight-fixing and bribery to judges. This is why I came back to Thailand. Singapore has very strict laws, so no such things happen there.

I am a clean businessman. I have never done any bribery.

Rodtang will be the first Thai fighter in ONE to make 10 million baht ($290,000) a fight. He will receive this purse in his next fight. Rodtang is richer than me when I was 25 years old.

Demetrious Johnson will fight Mikey Musumeci in Qatar.

Love to say that someone will be as big as Messi while bragging that he makes only $290,000 for a fight.

I know there's a UFC PPV on tonight, but if you're looking for something else (or reading this tomorrow or whatever), last week K-1 ran a traditional one night Grand Prix, and the fights got posted on Youtube today. Here are the links for the full tournament if you just want that classic kickboxing action:

AZABU PRESENTS K-1 WORLD GP 2023 ~First Middleweight Championship Tournament~

Middle Title Tournament Reserve Fight: Aqil Bukhari (5-2-1, 4 KO) vs. Tomoki Yoshino (7-2, 5 KO) (165) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOT43c-sZTY

Middle Title Tournament First Round (1): Katsuya Jinbo (15-7-1, 8 KO) vs. Li Hui (18-5, 5 KO) (165) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg-ZwG_jlAo
Middle Title Tournament First Round (2): Danilo Zanolini (44-13, 24 KO) vs. Hasan Toy (44-12, 8 KO) (165) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWKndUejL80
Middle Title Tournament First Round (3): Shintaro Matsukura (34-17, 18 KO) vs. Vinicius Dionizio (15-5, 9 KO) (165) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycNXLov1A5w
Middle Title Tournament First Round (4): Mustapha Haida (54-11-2, 25 KO) vs. MIKE JOE (10-6-5, 5 KO) (165) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDqcc0a100k

Middle Title Tournament Semi-Final (1)
Middle Title Tournament Semi-Final (2)

Middle Title Tournament Final

In all the years of K-1 they've never had a middleweight champion (165 lb), so this is the first title and one of these guys will win 3 fights in one night to earn it. Almost all the fights are really good, well worth your time.

Definitely a bad filter, but they are older-ish as a field, especially considering that K-1's major thrust is "find the next unbeatable 22 year old Japanese boy." For example, 22-year-old champion Toma Kuroda's non-title opponent in the one of the superfights near the top of the card is Ramadan Ondash, a 16-year-old boy from Lebanon that is only 3-0. No idea how they found him.

Katsuya Jinbo (15-7-1, 8 KO) 27 years old
Li Hui (18-5, 5 KO) 28 years old
Danilo Zanolini (44-13, 24 KO) 42 years old, and the promos for the show billed this as his last shot at a big run, his first two K-1 fights were in 2010 and he was the first RISE welter champion in 2013
Hasan Toy (44-12, 8 KO) 29 years old
Shintaro Matsukura (34-17, 18 KO) 31 years old
Vinicius Dionizio (15-5, 9 KO) 31 years old
Mustapha Haida (54-11-2, 25 KO) 34 years old
MIKE JOE (10-6-5, 5 KO) the show is taking place on his 36th birthday

Great linking, though with the thumbnails embedding, there�s a bit of spoiler on who�s advancing.

Is it doing that on the Awful App? I tried not to have that happen on my Substack post for that reason, and it doesn't embed for me on a browser at least.

I changed the format on the links to be url=, maybe that will stop it.

Thanks for the effort!

Is the differential capped to 6 even if one fighter scores more than that?

From what I could tell, 10-6 is the widest score allowed.

If you're in a 10-6 round then the fight should probably already be over. Even 10-8 rounds are rare

In Shoot Boxing scoring you can win points with throws the same as knockdowns, so you can feasibly come back from a 10-6. Most of the fights just end up being kickboxing though. There is a 10-7 or 10-6 round on this show in one of the fights.

More fights for you to watch: KNOCK OUT show from Sunday at Korakuen Hall. KNOCK OUT is the organization that runs kickboxing and Muay Thai on the same show. They are pretty low on the pecking order, one of their press releases was about how the Best Fighter and Best KO winners on the show would get a bonus of 100,000 yen, which is a whole $714.68 at today's exchange rate. They were also giving out the bonus to both fighters in the Best Bout, but those two have to split the last $714.68 with each other. Woof.

Must-see fight:
Double Main Event (2) Superfight: (C-127) �Notorious Tyrant� Ryusei (14-0, 10 KO) vs. Qumuxifu (25-4, 9 KO) (KB 130) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfz3sPhm6dQ

I agree with you. It's baffling that you get as much of a point for a throw as you do for a knockdown and you don't see every Japanese guy with no power that fights at 121 pounds going for constant takedowns.

The only other foreign name off the top of my head is Joachim Hellboy Hansen, who fought there twice. Looking at Wikipedia, apparently Jens Pulver fought there once, and Buakaw won an eight-man tournament in 2010 that featured him getting a leg kick TKO over Bellator 1 competitor Toby Imada in the finals. Toby fought there 9 times.

BIG SHOW PREVIEW:
FRIDAY, 8:30 AM ET TO 12:30 PM ET
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMocL7IclXk

ONE Friday Fights 22 - 2023-06-23
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand

The quarterly BIG ONE is here. 13 weeks ago, ONE put a Regian Eersel title defense on Friday Fights, and this week there�s an interim Muay Thai title fight as well as a Cursed Heavyweight MMA Title Unification Fight.

Prajanchai was last seen in the co-main event of ONE Friday Fights 1 and has an incredible 339-52 record at age 27. He also has a majority decision title win two years ago against his opponent tonight, Sam-A. Sam-A appeared on the last big OFF show, knocking out Ryan Sheehan. His record is an even more incredible 373-48, though he is 39 years old. Quite a title fight when both of your fighters have about 400 fights. In fact, Sam-A was the first champion in this division, he lost the title to Prajanchai, who then lost it to Joseph Lasiri. There is some sort of political posturing going on in ONE, and it has lead to this fight being a 5-rounder that is creating an interim title.

That strange tale is still not as weird and complicated as the road to the night�s other title bout. Arjan Bhullar has not fought since two years ago when he won the title over Brandon Vera, a year after that fight was originally scheduled. In the last four years, Bhullar has fought twice, while four other opportunities for those two fights and his fight tonight were rescheduled. Vera was a warm body opponent for Bhullar to challenge, in that Vera hadn�t defended his belt for three years before the fight.

Anatoly Malykhin is the undefeated interim champion that also absolutely destroyed the heralded 16-0 double champion Reinier de Ridder last time out to win the light heavyweight title. He is a huge favorite, with the current odds giving him about an 85% chance of winning. Understandably so, as Bhullar has no impressive wins on his resume, even tilting the scale by the overall quality of heavyweight MMA.

The show is located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMocL7IclXk
