Numsurin Chor Ketwina beat Songchainoi Kiatsongrit to earn a ONE World Title shot. Songchainoi wants his answer. June 26 at Lumpinee Stadium is where they settle it.
Numsurin faces Songchainoi in an atomweight Muay Thai rematch at ONE Friday Fights 160, streaming live from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, June 26.
Their first meeting at ONE Friday Fights 122 was a ONE World Title eliminator. Numsurin pulled off a major upset, dropping Songchainoi with a counter left hook in round two and earning a majority decision win.
That victory launched him into a shot against Nadaka for the inaugural ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title. He came up short by unanimous decision. Songchainoi, meanwhile, bounced back from the loss with wins over Salai Htan Khee Shein and pushed Nadaka hard in a five-round challenge at ONE SAMURAI 1 in April. Both men arrive at ONE Friday Fights 160 needing a definitive victory to restart their push toward gold.
Three further bouts complete the card additions. Legendary Thai striker Yodkhunpon Sitmonchai makes his ONE Championship debut against Turkey’s Semih Sah Cindir in bantamweight Muay Thai. Yodkhunpon carries 104 career victories and former K-1 gold into Lumpinee. Sah Cindir is 24-8 and coming off a split-decision win over Wang Penghui at ONE Friday Fights 154.
Muangthai PK Saenchai and Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree could steal the show at ONE Friday Fights 160
Muangthai PK Saenchai and Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree is the bantamweight Muay Thai matchup that could steal the whole card. Both fighters finish. Both stand in the pocket. Neither takes a backward step.
Muangthai carries 10 promotional wins and 207 career victories. The “Elbow Zombie” has built his reputation on dramatic exchanges and spectacular finishes. Panrit arrives in the best form of his career.
Back-to-back wins over Nakrob Fairtex and Krisana Dowdenmuaythai at ONE Friday Fights 152 have him riding his highest momentum to date. Given their styles, this bantamweight collision could easily be the fight of the night.
